They didn't like cats, but thought "a few short, sharp executions" would rid them of a burgeoning mouse population. Then follows the stories about their Siamese cats Sugieh, Sheba and Solomon. Anyone who knows cats will understand that they can communicate the most complex messages with just a look. Tovey describes this very well. Truly enjoyable. Doreen Tovey's Cats in the Belfry is a laugh-out-loud, hilarious representation of conversations with her cats and by her cats. Anyone who has ever been owned by a cat knows what it is like when a cat is really, really, REALLY trying to tell you something. Tovey manages to convey this intensity by capitalizing the words in her cats' sentences. And of course, these are Siamese cats so they are extra chatty and extra opinionated. There are also squirrels and other "family friends" that make their appearance, suggesting a couple in love with animals. Although there is not much of a plot, the British humor and the countryside atmosphere are charming. This is one of these curl-up-in-your-chair with a cup of tea and read-for-fun books. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

It wasn't, we discovered as the months went by, that Sugieh was particularly wicked. It was just that she was a Siamese. Animal lovers Doreen Tovey and her husband Charles acquire their first Siamese kitten to rid themselves of an invasion of mice. But Sugieh is not just any cat. She's an actress, a prima donna, an iron hand in a delicate, blue-pointed glove. She quickly establishes herself as queen of the house, causing chaos daily by screaming like a banshee, chewing up telegrams and tearing holes in anything made of wool. First published over forty years ago, this warm, witty and moving story has never gone out of style; a truly enjoyable read for anyone who's ever been owned by a cat.

Still funny after all these years.
If you've ever been owned by a Siamese, or if you're considering mortgaging your soul to one, or even if you just enjoy reading about the antics of these critters, whose personalities are as big as their voices, you'll enjoy this tale. ( )
