Paw Prints at Owl Cottage: The Heartwarming True… von Denis O'Connor
This book was given to us by cousin Ginny's son, Bob. The author has a penchant for Maine Coon cats and lives in Northumbria in his retirement with his wife. He names all of his cats Spanish names and lets them roam freely about his property. When the opportunity comes to get more kitties he always gets a male and he is quite enamored of the breed, taking Pablo on walks at nite, etc. Cute, sweet, at times sad.
This book is featured on Throwback Thursday @ https://readrantrockandroll.wordpress.com/2017/10/19/throwback-thursday-paw-trac...
I first noticed this book after my friend Leila was reading it on Goodreads and then I noticed that Luis Carlos Montalvan had rated it highly and reviewed it as well. I got online and ordered a copy and was pleasantly surprised to obtain a signed copy. I’m so happy to have found this gem of a book! It’s one of the best cat stories I’ve read.
This book is the true story of Toby Jug, a Maine Coone kitten rescued at the age of three weeks old from the barren winter by the author, Denis O’Connor. The book highlights the author’s experience with trying to save Toby Jug with limited resources and knowledge. Denis O’Connor shares the story of the relationship they build together over the course of a year and beyond.
Toby Jug proved to be a unique cat who was both curious and adventurous but remained loyal to Denis throughout his life. I loved reading about their adventures together, including car rides and walks through the garden. It reminded me of my own cats and the time that we spend together outside when I come out into their world and the unique relationship we can have with animals if we only let them lead the way. Not only that, I admired the way the author describes the countryside in Northumberland, England, and at their place of residence, Owl Cottage. It’s quite fascinating and I began to reflect on how much I appreciate the seasons as each season from Toby Jug’s first winter, spring, summer, and fall is described in beautiful detail. All of their adventures together from an infiltration of bees into Owl Cottage, to riding horseback through the countryside are described in this book. When reading, parts of the book seemed boring, but they really aren’t if you take the time to appreciate the beautiful prose. The ending of Toby Jug’s life is saved for the epilogue and can be skipped entirely if desired.
I do plan on reading the next two books in the series. My rating on this book is 5-stars.… (mehr)

This is a beautifully written memoir of the rescue by the author of Toby-Jug, a very fine Maine Coon cat.
Sequel to Paw Prints in the Moonlight. More gruesome - to the point of taking away from the story. Do I care about a so-called witch he met and the torture remains in her cellar? Did it add anything to the story? No, and no. Hope the next chapter - Owl Cottage, goes back to the beginning story and remains focused on Toby.
