My review:
I have mixed feelings about this audio book. I am a cat lover (and dog lover too) so I love anything to do with cats but some of these stories on this audio book I really didnt like and thought were very boring. Some stories or snipets I did like like the Purrfect candidate for president as well as a few others that made me laugh (I think I really liked those because I am someone who owes 2 cats so I understand). My cats actually listened with me to this (or they were in the room when I listened to this). So it is an audio book you can listen to with your whole family.
The narration of this audio book was ok at best. I think the narrator could have been more animated and not so monotoned. I each of the stories or snippets though there were people other than the narrator so some of them had good animated voices and made their part of the audio book enjoyable to listen to but some people not so much.
I would recommend this audio book because some of the stories on it are cute and worth a listen. I also recommend it because I know there are lots of cat lovers out there who will want to listen to this. Oh also I recommend you listen to this audio book with your cat it makes it all the more fun!
I would like to thank Susan from Audio Jukebox for letting me listen to and review this audio book.
