Nils wasn’t a cat person, but a little cat who came to be called Kitty changed all that. When a stray cat started living in a garden shed, Nils and his wife felt sorry for it, and fed it. As any cat owner knows, that was the beginning of the end of Kitty’s life as a stray. Belong many more months passed, she was fed regularly, then spayed, then sleeping inside the house, then had her own pet door, and then pretty much ran the household. This book chronicles the story of how Kitty trained her humans, how they became more knowledgeable about the ways of cats, and how they ended up loving each other. It’s a tender tale, but it has its humorous parts, too, especially the chapter on mice. It’s a delightful book, and not just for cat owners. The illustrations are quite wonderful, too. Een aardig boek. een oudere arts vertelt hoe hij en zijn vrouw enigszins tegen hun zin een kat opnemen in hun huis: ze zijn geen kattenmensen, ze zijn vaak dagen weg, ze zijn over de 70. Maar de kat slaagt er toch in hen voor zich te winnen, ze is lief, maar ook handig. De man beschrijft de voortgang van het inkapselen, maar stelt zich ook vragen over kattendenken, kattengedrag en vergelijkt dat met mensendingen. Hij maakt zich niet veel illusies over haar liefde, maar acht een soort van 'vriendschap', in het tot wederzijdse tevredenheid samenzijn wel mogelijk. "The Old Man and the Cat" is a wonderful little book. It is a quick read,just a handful of a book, with a great deal to say about human/cat relationships. How the author and his wife become "cat people" could apply to any of us, who, upon finding a stray cat in our yard, find ourselves adopted as caretakers despite our own opinion on the subject. I found the illustrations enchanting. The cat was made especially endearing by the large size of the main object in the illustration and finding the cat peering out from above, below or to the side of the object,say a window or piece of furniture. The pencil drawings are fuzzy, and soft and portray the love the author has for his "Kitty" by making the illustrations so very endearing. As a former psychiatrist, Uddenberg questions the behavior of animals, cats specifically and their relationships with their humans. Is it driven simply by the need to be fed and sheltered or the desire for comfort and physical closeness? There are several anecdotes that the reader can relate to and some observations that may inform new owners what inspires their cats behavior. A quick read, highly recommended; would make a nice gift for a cat lover. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
"The Old Man and The Cat is a story of how Nils Uddenberg, retired Professor of Psychology became a beloved cat-owner even though he had never wanted a pet of any kind. One winter morning the author discovered a cat--whom he would later find was homeless--sitting outside his bedroom window, staring at him with big yellow eyes. Slowly but surely the cat worked itself into his life.This award-winning writer who has a background in psychology could not stop himself from going deeper into the cat's inner life. Does she have a sense of humor? Is it possible to attach human feelings to her? And the trickiest question of all: Is our little cat actually interested in our attachment to her? With humor and self-awareness, Nils describes how his existence changed after the cat moved into his house. The feelings she stirs up are a surprise to him and he quickly finds himself falling in love with this speckled grey-brown little lady"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Med mycket humor och självdistans berättar Nils Uddenberg om hur tillvaron förändrades sedan Kissen flyttat in i huset i Lund. De känslor hon väcker överraskar honom. Han blir förälskad i denna gråbrunspräckliga lilla dam, som snart också sover i hans säng om natten.
Med sin bakgrund som psykiater kan Nils Uddenberg inte låta bli att fördjupa sig i Kissens själsliv. Har den humor? Är det ens rimligt att tillskriva den mänskliga känslor? Och den kanske knepigaste frågan av alla: Är vår lilla kisse överhuvudtaget intresserad av den gemenskap med henne som vi lägger ner så mycket möda på att bygga upp?
