4.5 rounded upSuch a lovely little tale and gorgeously illustrated to boot.
Aw, this was just lovely, and I don't even like cats. Find out more about it from my #bookreview here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2021/11/0...
This is a breezy and charming story, which is like a picture book with a novella, of a writer’s four Charteux cats who want to show her that they’re more than just her majestic muses and they manage to be just as lovable as any housecat. A- (91%/Excellent)
A fun witty and enjoyable read. So entertaining that I finished the book before I realized I actually finished.
A fun little book for everyone who loves writers and cats!
A fun read, and I learned a few things about cats! Thank you Alan : ) A beautiful edition.I've also read her The Elegance of the Hedgehog, on Cheryl's recommendation.
Really self indulgent and more about her than it is the cats. Really cute art though!
This book might be appropriate from any interested person from about 5th grade on up. Ms. Barbery's cats tell the story of her struggles as a writer and how they help. Do they deserve a better reward than just kibble? In many ways this is a charming story with interesting illustrations. When I rate a story okay, I mean that it really is an okay book.

Short and cute
What’s this, Cathy reading a book about cats (and an illustrated one at that) when she’s not even that much of a cat lover? Well, I’m so glad I did because this is a charming book by Muriel Barbery (whose book A Single Rose I read and reviewed recently) with wonderful illustrations by Maria Guitart.I loved the clever touches such as the fact the illustrations stick predominantly to the same colour palette as Chartreux cats – grey and orange – and that the writer is seen only from the back until
Very cute and so true of cats.
Lovely portrait in the life of Muriel Barbery’s three Chartreux cats. The illustrations add to the charm of this lovely vignette. For cat lovers who appreciate the hard work of writing and creation of art.

Un petit livre mignon comme avec de très jolies illustrations qui rend hommage à ses 4 chats avec tendresse et humour.Pour petit et grand
Leggero, divertente, poetico. Emerge prepotente il grande amore della scrittrice per i felini. I gattari doc capiranno perfettamente.
Such a cute and fun read. Really enjoyable
Cute, well-written, enchantingly illustrated little story of four cats who live with (and assist) a French writer
Cat lover that I am, I enjoyed this book very much. It's very cute, but I wish it were longer :)
I'm a reader not a writer but have always been curious by what inspires an author and what makes their creative juices flow. For French writer, Muriel Barbery, it appears to be all things Japanese, flowers, and her (4) Chartreux cats (gray fur with amber eyes). There is Kirin, graceful and charming, brothers Petrus and Ocha and sister Mizu. The story narrated by Kirin with humor and a cat's insight gives us a look at the author's day to day life and her writing process. How does the author know
