Meer over het boek
With characteristic wit and charm, Michael Korda and his wife Margaret share their lives as devoted "cat people." The narrative begins with Margaret's passion for cats and Michael's reluctant mid-life transformation. They introduce a delightful array of individuals whose lives revolve around their feline companions, from Cleopatra, a transatlantic traveler who found happiness in Paris, to Wally, the embodiment of feline dignity. The Kordas explore the irresistible allure of cats, showcasing those who can’t resist adopting more, travel with their pets, and build social lives around them. Throughout the book, readers encounter a variety of memorable cats, including Margaret's cherished Irving, who loved the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, and Mumsie, who unexpectedly arrived with her kittens. The Kordas also highlight special cats like Jake and the gentle Chutney, alongside "difficult" characters like Chui and the late-blooming Mr. McT., a bully who found love. With portraits that are often charming, sometimes hilarious, and occasionally poignant, the Kordas celebrate the profound impact these cats have had on their lives, leaving readers with unforgettable tales of feline companionship.
