1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Incisive but plain anecdotes. Formatting could have been better. By S Herding cats gives you 5 short stories all unsurprisingly about cats.These are 'Herding Cats', 'The Missing Cat', 'Sibling Rivalry', 'Chicken? .. for the soul' and 'It's raining cats and dogs'.Each story is accompanied by pictures of the cats which have been put through various photoshop style effects (e.g. pencil, blue frame bleed out, sparkle, sepia etc). While the photos are lovely, I'm not sure the artistic twist adds anything to them. In particular they don't translate well on the older kindles. I imagine they would be much more at home on the newer Kindle Fire.The stories are very much on the flash fiction end of the scale being from two to eight pages worth of print equivalent, and each is written in a first person style that is reflective and casual.One aspect that could have been improved here is formatting. The stories are presented as a wall of text with no ident to break up the paragraphs which is easily recitifable and would improve the readibility of the work.The stories however are well edited. Each is very much a personal anecdote, and recounts the authors relationship with their pet while also indulging in some local flavour that helps add realism to the setting (such as the Scottish rail network in the first story).I particularly liked the recounting of The Missing Cat which in my opinion was by far the strongest of the stories. Unfortunately this particular story is the last one in the ebook which means none of it makes it into the preview, so you'll have to buy it to find out if Daisy Hetherington is reunited with her beloved cat. The human element is also well done here with the daughter, and is quite touching.A good collection, but the execution in kindle could have been a little better. I'd rate this one at 3.5 stars.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A delightful group of short stories for all... By S. L. Dearing I recently finished Herding Cats by Christopher JF Gibson and I loved it. A collection of short stories that either contain or come from the perspective of our feline friends, deftly written and full of depth and emotion.To be honest I wasn't sure what to expect, but these stories are lovely. Some sweet, some sad, but all of them are definitely written from the heart. Mr. Gibson shares his intimate moments with us. These are beautifully written tales and I found myself looking forward to the next tale when the previous had ended. I loved that some of the stories were from the perspective of the cat and some from the human.The story based on the title is about an older cat, with two siblings, who are much younger and make his life quite difficult, but as we read, we realize this "wise-old cat" may not be so wise or so old, engaging in his own "tom-foolery". It is beautifully written and intriguing. The Missing Cat was a wonderful story of loss and love, the ending took me completely by surprise.I haven't read "animal" tales since I was a little girl, my mom had me reading Albert Payson Terhune (on of her faves - which also became mine), but these aren't just for children. They are about what we all think about and dream about, just from a different perspective. If you are looking for a series of engaging tales full of emotion and depth, look no further.Herding Cats is simply lovely.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Catty Collection By Nyssa This book consists of several very short stories about cats and some photographs and drawings of cats.The stories are "It's Raining Cats and Dogs," "Herding Cats," "Chicken?..for the Soul," "Sibling Rivalry," and "The Missing Cat." My favorite of the group was "Sibling Rivalry" with "Chicken?..for the Soul" the runner-up. All except "Missing Cat" spotlight the sometimes odd (to humans) behavior of the cats in their lives.I'll admit that I liked the pictures and drawings of the cats even more than the stories. Who can resist a cute kitten or a pouncing kitty?All of the stories are suitable for children, although a few of the British turns-of-phrase might need to be explained to some children.Recommended for animal lovers who are often mystified by the behavior of their cats.
