"I came into the world like everything else that is born, willy-nilly."   So the wise old housecat Foudini begins the delightful story of his life. It is the tale of his orphaned kittenhood; of how he was rescued, cowering and spitting and hissing, from a damp city basement and lured into the lives of the couple he came to call Warm and Pest ("All cats like to make up strange names for things" ). It is the story of how Warm and Pest became "his  people" ("Human beings must be excellent mousers; they have such patience" ); of how he learned to tolerate and then to love "his"  dog, Sam; and of his adventures at Cold House in the city and Mouse House in the country (he prefers Mouse House, for obvious reasons). With feline equanimity, he tells how he was saved from a racing, swollen river; of how he lost the most unlikely and dearest friend he had; and of how he gained a cat family of his own. And he regales us with news of the ghost cats who visit him in his dreams--the cats of Cleopatra and Freud among them--bringing him their ancient cat wisdom, which Foudini tries, none too successfully at first, to impart to Grace, the sleek and beautiful gray country cat new to the household. As Foudini sees it, Grace is desperately in need of his guidance, but being young and willful, she has other things on her mind . . . Yet even Grace comes to understand that Foudini M. Cat is well worth listening to. Warm and witty--and possessed of a surprisingly sophisticated narrative manner--Foudini is a cat with truly irrepressible, and irresistible, feline flair.… (mais)

è favoloso! chiunque ha o ha avuto un gatto dovrebbe leggerlo! sembra proprio scritto da un gatto e ti fa veramente cadere nella trappola di pensare che veramente il nostro felino pensa così e interpreta così le cose che noi facciamo e diciamo e le cose che gli possono accadere. almeno per me è stato così ;)

From his earliest memories of living in a basement wall with his mother, Foudini relates events from his long life, including adventures with his companion Dog, and his two humans, Warm and Pest. I enjoyed reading this book, and it made me smile. ( )

This, I think, is the best cat book I've ever read. Written in autobiographical format, it totally engrossed me, and rang so true. Actually I'm about ready to reread it. ( )

from T02S03B11D20; lovely, sweet book about the cat, Foudini, his people, Warm and Pest and his Dog, Sam. All being told to his new companion, Grace, the cat. Will save this book for a book box. ( )

This is a very sweet book. Well written, with a gentle, intelligent style, it is ostensibly the autobiography of a house cat, who is sharing his wisdom for the benefit of a kitten who has come to live with him. The author gives Foudini a wonderful, authentic voice, and weaves mythology and Foudini's spiritual nature into the tale. It is a short, simple read that should be fun for any cat lover, with both humor and touching moments. ( )
