Time Cat: The Remarkable Journeys of Jason and Gareth

Lloyd Alexander

I've read a few relatively short books recently. I've also read a couple exceptionally short ones, including Time Cat by Lloyd Alexander. I'm up to book 15/50 now, but I'm behind in blogging about them. I think Time Cat would be book 11 according to my Vox count. Anyways, I finished this short children's book last night, and in an effort to avoid studying, I rambled about it on my book blog.

Rather than repost the whole thing here, I'll just share a few of the quotes I liked:

"A cat can belong to you, but you can't own him".
"Any bed is soft to a cat" (an axiom even the pampered Prince Tantra proves almost daily)
"You can say some of the loveliest things in the world - without words."
And finally, something to remember when you feel overwhelmed by everything that needs to get done: "The only thing to worry about is what's happening right now. As we tell the kittens, you can only wash one paw at a time."

LOL!!! Our 3 kitties own us, we don't own them, Heehee!!! They run the house, and they decide when they want to be held, ours will let you know when they want you to hold them, if you pick them up, they will get down.
