Miaow!: Cats Really are Nicer Than People! | Patrick Moore
4 posts | 1 read
This little book is Sir Patrick Moore's very personal account of cats; cats of all shapes, sizes and colours, and specifically those that have shared their lives with the great and well-respected astronomer over a lifetime of 80-plus years. You can even test your own cat's intelligence by taking Sir Patrick's quiz!

Definitely a book for cat lovers only. In fact, probably only a crazy cat-person will fully appreciate Patrick Moore's strong attachment to his feline companions. Even as a cat owner and ailurophile myself, I found the sentiment rather saccharine and mawkish.

That said, Patrick Moore was a bona fide English eccentric and generally an all-round nice man who was held in genuine affection by his TV audience (including me) and those whose lives..👇🏼

Bookwomble ...he touched more directly as inspiration, mentor and benefactor. Having lost his fiancée, who was serving as a nurse in the Second World War, when her ambulance was hit during a Nazi bombing raid, Moore never entered into another romantic relationship. So, if he found comfort, consolation and an outlet for his tender feelings by doting on his cats, I can only be happy that they brought him joy and contentment. 6y
