With characteristic wit, self–effacing charm and sheer, exuberant love of a good cat story, New York Times bestselling author Michael Korda and his wife Margaret Korda recount their lives as "cat people," beginning with Margaret's passion for cats (and Michael's reluctant mid–life transformation into a cat person), and introducing readers to a hilarious assortment of people whose life revolves––often to an extraordinary degree––around their cat, or cats, from Cleopatra a transatlantic traveler who found happiness in Paris to Wally, the epitome of feline dignity.
Here are people who just can't say no to another cat, who "world–travel" with their cat, who build their social life around their cats––and of course the cats themselves, for the Kordas celebrate the beguiling power of cats, including many of their own, who have complemented, complicated and changed their lives together over the years. Here are charming, often hilarious and sometimes sad portraits of such cats as Margaret's beloved Irving, whose favorite abode was the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, and Mumsie, who arrived unexpectedly at the door with her two kittens, and special cats like Jake and the gentle Chutney, as well as "difficult" cats like Chui and poor Mrs. Bumble, and Mr. McT., the bully who found love late in life. Here are graceful cats and cats like Kit–Kat that never look before they jump, in short, countless cats the reader will never forget, even those with many cats of their own.

reviewed Cat People on November 16, 2017 Cat People
Firstly, don't pay any attention to the reviews below mine, as apparently the writers don't actually GET cats, though one of them claims to like them. Apparently, whatever they were expecting, this book did not fulfill their needs, bur they are DEAD wrong in their reviews.
Now to continue with why this book IS so special and enjoyable which, apparently, these dolts missed completely.
Anyone who has ever lived with cats (after all, THEY own the place - YOU keep it up) and loved them will die laughing reading this book, tear up in passages or laugh AND cry at the same time as the Kordas detail their adventures with the cats in their lives. I found myself nodding in agreement over most of the pages as they describe their cats' antics and personalities.
(Margaret Korda is just like me. Every cat she meets, she wants to bring home (and often does) while Michael, her husband, protests weakly, but only for appearance's sake.)
Cat people will find it comfortingly familiar, while dog lovers, perhaps puzzled by the "other", would do well to read this book and learn some secrets as to how cats tick.
In the end, the book confirms what all cat lovers already know: each one is different but all are special.
As for the other two reviewers, I suspect (correct that: I KNOW) that if you asked any self-respecting cat as to their opinions of what was written by these two idiots, they would sniff disdainfully and turn their backsides to both ladies. Cats know smart people when they see one - and when they don't.
