This is a lovely book if you are a cat person! I bought a copy for myself and then another copy for someone after I got my copy. Very readable - you can pick it up and put it down at will. Although it has a story for every day, you can start on any day and stop whenever you want, maybe go back later. Would definitely recommend it!
