Paw Tracks at Owl Cottage by Denis O'Connor

Paw Tracks at Owl Cottage is the sequel to Paw Tracks in the Moonlight which i have not read. From a view of reading from the 2nd book my point of view would be different to if i had read both so please keep in mind that this review was written without basic knowledge of the previous book hence a different perspective.

Paw Tracks at Owl Cottage is probably a book that the author wrote about himself and his cats as he is the person speaking in the text. It is basically written in the style of a diary except in more detail. The author and his wife decide to move back into a cottage they sold some time ago, but it would not be a proper without a cat to accompany them, as they had lived here previously with a cat. So, the decide to go out and buy a Maine Coon kitten. At the end of the story they have bought 4 Main Coon cats in total.

I think this book is okay if you like reading about cats or if you want to know how life would be like with a cat. It doesn't really have a particular plot as it just just goes on and on about the author's life with his cats and all the ups and downs with his large cat family. If you are looking for an action book then this is not the right book for you. Every now and then something will happen to their cats, which is the only time you'll meet any "complication" part of the book.


Age Group: Kids, roughly 9+ (it does contain some sadder bits so be aware of this)

Star Rating: 4/10 (If you like cats you might like it more)

Again, I haven't read the first book so my judgement could be changed if I had read it first. If you do want me to read the first book and re-review this then please ask!
