Every lover of cats should own this book...the best single treatise on the cat, spiritually rather than biologically considered, that we have ever seen. - Chicago Evening Post


The Tiger in the House is absolutely fascinating. As a matter of fact, it is a treasure house. The little scraps of literary gossip in it alone make it absolutely indispensable for anyone who likes to explore the hedgy bypaths of an author's life and thoughts. I wouldn't be without it for anything. - Chicago Tribune
