Four Legged Heroes

Courageous Cats by Norah Evers is a most charming little book with five unique true stories about five unique cats. The tales range from the Crimean war to present day. Each cat is a four-legged hero.

Each story is told in the third person from the point of view of the cat. They each perform a rescue service. They are all heroes.

Cats develop bonds with their owners. They are often portrayed as loners and selfish but nothing could be further from the truth. Cats are loyal, loving and giving. They have a unique sixth sense and are able to tell when something is wrong. They can sniff out anything dangerous, even cancer. Cats can quite literally be life savers.

Courageous Cats is a beautiful book for any animal lover – the cat lover in particular. I am a crazy cat lady and adored all the stories. Did I have a favourite story? No, all the cats are beautiful, lovable heroes.

 I received a free copy via Book Sirens. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
