Summary: A delight for cat lovers of all ages
Comment: The life of the cat who's eventually to be known as "Tom Jones" begins inauspiciously, when his mother disappears and his littermates are picked up by the Animal Rescue League (probably not for adoption by other families, the reader quickly realizes). After spending his first few years as a Cat About Town, the young gentleman sets out to find himself a suitable housekeeper. A nice old maid in whose home he can settle down - that's what Tom has in mind. Instead of one old maid, though, he finds two. And that's not the only way in which his new life as a Cat of Property turns out to be more than he bargained for.
The author based this charming short novel on her own life, and her own cat named (what else?) Tom Jones. It's very suitable for doing as her preface suggests, and reading it aloud to one's children or grandchildren. However, it's also a delight for any cat lover of any age. This is definitely the best book of its kind I've read, and heaven knows I've read plenty of pet stories!

Summary: Charming Work
Comment: A charming work full of humor and grace. The only downside is the great sadness brought about by the realization that neither the Cat nor Ms. Sarton are still with us.

Summary: I didn't want this book to end !
Comment: This sweet little book is a charmer ! I live across the country from my mother, so I read it to her over the phone. Together, we got into the spirit of a homeless, prowling cat who decided it was time to settle down and be a house cat. Tom invites himself into several households before settling in on the humans he decides to take comfort with. The author does a delightful job , I think, of helping the reader fantasize about just WHAT is going on inside these little personalities.
