A little message reminding me that it doesnt matter what somebody looks like or how they live their life that were all essentially the same and I loved Mac.-- Cathy MacDonald on Sunday Morning with Cathy MacDonald, BBC ScotlandBased on the real story of a family cat who came free with an Edinburgh house, this is an ideal read-aloud, told with gentle humour and genuine respect for a cat who was very special. Forrester entwines stories of several generations with humour and affection - Macs neighbourhood is definitely one to visit.-- Lindsey Fraser, Sunday HeraldHuman characters, young and old, are finely observed, kind-hearted and well meaning in their different ways, while Mac is a sympathetic, complex character. This is a quiet story, elegantly told, compassionate about animals and realistic in its approach to death as a natural phenomenon.-- Books for Keeps, March 2008An enjoyable story of a cat trying to find a home where he is loved Yes, the eventual ending is sad but its all part of a childs growing up - neither animals nor humans last forever.-- Carousel - The Guide to Childrens Books, Summer 2008This is just a charming story for young cat lovers! It is a humorous, feel-good tale and is based on an almost true story.-- School Library Association
