Do cats think?: Notes of a cat-watcher

Jove/HBJ, 1978

enjoyable and entertaining, also informative
While it's true, as another review here says, that the violent deaths of almost all the cats made it both sobering and an unintended "prime argument against free-ranging" cats, I found a lot of truth in it; even the violent deaths. Most people who know cats know of a lot of cats who've died by cars, etc. Yes, it made it sad, but it also injected an extra dose of reality in what was a really ...

Jove/HBJ, 1977

Start here for the Lensman universe!
