Concerning Cats: My Own and Some Others


Read by LibriVox Volunteers

(4.3 stars; 3 reviews)

"I have known, and loved, and studied many cats, but my knowledge of her (Pretty Lady, a cat) alone would convince me that cats love people--in their dignified, reserved way, and when they feel that their love is not wasted; that they reason, and that they seldom act from impulse."

The thoughts of Helen Winslow, a thoughtful and articulate cat friend, about the cats in her life. (Summary by Karen Merline) (5 hr 53 min)

Concerning Cats


(3 stars)

This is a delightful book for all cat lovers. The first reader, Patricia Oakley, read beautifully. Unfortunately the second reader really spoiled the book. She is not a native English speaker and mispronounced many words, which sometimes made it difficult to understand.
