An amazing book that offers a unique point of view from a cat's perspective. The story is set in WW2 London during the bombings. It truly takes the reader on an unforgettable journey through the eyes of this feline protagonist. I absolutely loved it! It remains one of my favorite books to this day. The author has done a remarkable job of bringing the war-torn city to life and showing how even a small cat can have a big impact. The details are vivid and the narrative is engaging, making it a page-turner from start to finish. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a different kind of war story or simply a great read.

Here is a great story about a female cat named Lord Gort. Her loyalty to her human is truly remarkable. She embarks on a perilous journey and has many adventures during World War 2. The story is mostly set in Britain, but at one point, she finds herself in France. Along the way, she meets many people, some of whom are welcoming and others who are not. Despite the difficulties, she is determined to find her human.

If you are a cat lover, you will probably enjoy this story. The book does a good job of avoiding anthropomorphising for the most part. It is an older book and does show its age in some ways, but it is still an enjoyable read. The story will take you on a journey through a war-torn world and show you the power of loyalty and love.

Overall, this is a great book for anyone who loves cats or historical fiction. It is a heartwarming story that will stay with you long after you have finished reading it.

The Blitzkrieg, that intense and rapid military campaign, along with the evacuation of Coventry and the billeting of soldiers in private homes, are all brought to life in this book for young adults.

Also, the experiences of rear gunmen in WWII fighter planes and the emotional rollercoasters that both soldiers and citizens endured are made real.

The story centers around a black female cat that has gone astray while trying to find and follow her master, an officer in the RAF.

Remarkably, this cat has the ability to sense bombs, fires, explosions, and attacks before they happen. Throughout the book, she manages to warn or lead people out of harm's way.

The author vividly portrays psi-trailing, a recognized yet not fully understood phenomenon that can occur in felines.

This adds an element of mystery and wonder to the story, making it even more engaging for young readers.

Overall, the book offers a unique and captivating perspective on the events of WWII through the eyes of a remarkable cat.

I had expected more than this. The translator had returned two works before this, both of which were readings.

The story was ordinary. Neither too extraordinary nor too mundane. It was a story of a cat whose owner was away, and the cat went out of the house to look for its owner. Two parallel stories. One was the story of this cat, and the other was the stories of the Royal Air Force in World War II.

It was an interesting combination, but somehow it didn't quite click for me. Maybe it was because the two stories didn't seem to have a strong enough connection. Or maybe it was because the translator didn't do a good enough job of bringing out the essence of the stories.

Overall, I was a bit disappointed with this translation. I had hoped for something more engaging and thought-provoking. But perhaps that was too much to ask for.

I have just finished reading the novel. I bought it because I love cats and the idea of a cat being the protagonist of events related to World War II appealed to me.

To be exact, Lord Gort, our protagonist, is a magnificent cat, very attached to its human. I should remind you that cats don't have owners, but only people who love and take care of them. Lord Gort is so attached to its human, an English fighter pilot, that it decides to follow him when he is sent to war.

The adventures of Lord Gort are touching and extraordinary. They tell us about heartbreaking historical events like the bombing of Coventry, but also delicate episodes like the salvation of a widow from depression thanks to one of Lord Gort's kittens.

The protagonist traverses history and the English landscape with the grace and strength typical of felines.

Due to its length, it is not suitable for a collective reading, but for an individual one. It allows the reader to fully immerse themselves in the story and follow the adventures of Lord Gort at their own pace. The detailed descriptions of the war and the relationships between the characters make this novel a captivating read.

Whether it's a gentle purr or a playful nudge, cats have a way of making their presence known and bringing joy to our lives.

So the next time you see a cat, take a moment to appreciate its beauty and wonder.
