5.0 out of 5 stars Heartwarming, Jan 10 2001

This review is from: Silent Miaow (Paperback)

This is a sweet book. Cat lovers will immediately recognize the traits of their favorite feline in the descriptions of kitty's charming behavioral tricks. Gallico presents these with humor from a cat's perspective, which sounds more than a little silly, but which works to the book's benefit. The Silent Miaow was written in 1964, so many of the author's remarks on human relations are quite out of date, but the endearing and manipulative way cats behave clearly hasn't changed over the years! The Silent Miaow would be a nice gift for a friend who loves cats. Read it yourself if you're feeling down -- its sweetness will certainly cheer you up.

I would. I received a copy from my parents 20 (or so) years ago and have read it over and over. It is now in my Hope chest for my children.

Anyone who loves cats must have this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book and a must for all cat lovers, May 5 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Silent Miaow (Paperback)

You will never look at your cat the same after reading this great book, which was actually written by a cat and translated by Paul Gallico! The techniques that they use to infiltrate their way into your home and your heart are instantly recognisable, but only serve to make you realise how clever your cat really is! If you love cats, you'll love this book!
