Unraveling the Enigma: How Rebecca van Laer’s ‘Cat’ Whispers Secrets You Won’t Forget
Let’s get one thing out of the way: Yes, I love cats, and yes, this is a book written by a person who loves cats about cats. That’s unavoidable, so if you’re not a lover of the species, then perhaps read one of the other books in the Object Lessons series (I’m particularly excited to get my hands on Egg, Bookshelf, and Swimming Pool, similarly small and deep explorations of everyday objects).
However, if you are anything from a cat lover to a mere cat appreciator, you will find what I did in this book: pure delight. I’m not one for saccharine reports of the Chicken Soup variety, so I was really happy to dig in and discover that each chapter of this small tome offers both honest, funny, and witty stories from the author’s personal life, as well as research and information that supports the story being told. I love a narrative with factual threads running through it.
