The book that I am reviewing today is "The Cat Rules" written by William J. Thomas. A few years ago, I reviewed his book "The Dog Rules" here on the blog as well. "The Cat Rules" tells the story of Mr. Thomas' cat Wedgie.
The author was at a place in his life where he didn't have a dog or a cat, and he didn't want to get another pet because he didn't want to go through the pain of losing an animal friend again. However, he went to look at a cat, and he brought the cat home. He couldn't resist.
The book relates many of the humorous events in the life of Wedgie and William Thomas. Wedgie had the habit of ripping up the screens to get out of the house. The men at the hardware store kept up a good business selling new screens to the author.
One of my favorite parts of the book was the chapter where the author relates how Wedgie came out to play hockey on the frozen lake with the author and several of the neighbor boys. Wedgie had his own way of playing the game.
I definitely recommend "The Cat Rules". It is a fun book to read. I obtained this book through inter-library loan, and it was hard to get. It is worth the effort to get the book and read it especially if you are a cat lover.
On another note. Over the past three weeks, Nature on PBS has been running a series on wild cats of the world. This was a great series with stunning footage and excellent narration by F. Murray Abraham. For a limited time, you can watch the series at the Nature website, and I would recommend that you do that.
