purrrfect for cat lovers

my only complaint is I would have liked a longer book. I loved the personal stories of his experiences as a vet with the crossover of animals lover.

Beautiful and comforting.

I wish it was longer. Although, I won’t mind listening again and again. I love cats and James Herriot books. Excellent narration and very good production. No weird background noises like in some of the other Herriot books narrated by Christopher Timothy.

Gladdening

If you don’t know any cats, you will have a yearning for one of your own by the end of this listen.
Timothy’s bright performance brings Herriot’s voice to life.

A delightful Book

This book is a collection of some of Herriot’s cat stories. The book is well written and is a delight to read. I enjoy Herriot’s books in the audiobook format so I can thoroughly enjoy the various accents. Anyone who enjoys animal stores will love this book. It is acceptable for all ages. I find the Herriot books most relaxing and I feel good after reading them. This book was originally published in 1994.

James Herriot (1916-1995) is the pen name of James Alfred Wight, a veterinarian. Wight wrote under a pseudonym to avoid having problems with the ethical rules of not advertising a veterinary practice. The books are autobiographical. His first book was published in 1969.

The book is three hours. Christopher Timothy does a good job narrating the book. Timothy is a Welsh actor and played Herriot in the BBC production of “All Things Great and Small”. He is an award-winning audiobook narrator.

Very Refreshing And Sweet

I've gotten somewhat tired of the cat stories that go like: family meets cat, family initially doesn't like cat, but gets used to it, then loves it, then cat gets killed by car, the end. There are only so many such stories (or similar) that you can read/listen to. Fortunately, these are pretty different. Mostly heartwarming, lighthearted, and fun. I enjoyed them all, which is a rarity.

James Herriot

I had this book when my kids were little and gave it to my oldest. So now I just listened to it by audible. Great stories.
