Praise for Norton, The Loveable Cat Who Travelled the World

A charming and heartening account

Kirkus Reviews

Norton is clearly a charmer, and Gethers tells his story with contagious affection....Will warm the heart of any confirmed cat-lover

Washington Post Book World

A delight. Norton, the cat, brings Gethers to some of life's great lessons ... He teaches Gethers the value of real commitments and the value of love

Rita Mae and Sneaky Pie Brown, Los Angeles Times Book Review

An entertaining romp that leaves no doubt that Mr Gethers and his cat have a most remarkable relationship

New York Times Book Review

Peter Gethers' trio of books about the globe-trotting Norton are witty and warm. We not only learn of Norton's sweet personality but also about the author's feelings about what really matters when it comes to love and cats
