The Cat Who Went to Paris Paperback - 1992

by Peter Gethers

At one time, publisher and author Peter Gethers was a confirmed cat hater. That changed when a Scottish Fold kitten named Norton entered his life. When Gethers opened his heart to the feisty gray feline, he learned a thing or two about himself--and he and his new companion soon became inseparable. Illustrated.


From the publisher

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - When the world is your oyster, you need a cat to enjoy it with you.

"An entertaining romp that leaves no doubt that Mr. Gethers and his cat have a most remarkable relationship."--Kiki Olson, The New York Times Book Review

At one time in his life, Peter Gethers, publisher, screenwriter, and author, was a confirmed loner and cat hater. All that changed when a Scottish Fold kitten named Norton entered his life. Peter opened his heart to Norton and soon they were inseparable. Together they rode the ferry to Fire Island, traversed the subways of Manhattan, traveled on the Concorde to Paris, dated beautiful women, and even dined in the world's finest restaurants. Norton knows how to impress simply by being himself--an amusing and intelligent companion who understands silence, enjoys the thrill of the chase, and gladly accepts the devotion of man and womankind. He also teaches his fallible owner how to live, love, and be a compassionate human being. The Cat Who Went to Paris proves that sometimes all it takes is paws and personality to change a life.

From the jacket flap

"Norton is clearly a charmer, and Gethers tells his story with contagious affection....Will warm the heart of any confirmed cat-lover."
THE WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLDBefore Peter Gethers met Norton, the publisher, screenwriter, and author was a confirmed cat-hater. Then everything changed. Peter opened his heart to the Scottish Fold kitten and their adventures to Paris, Fire Island, and in the subways of Manhattan took on the color of legend and mutual love. THE CAT WHO WENT TO PARIS proves that sometimes all it takes is paws and personality to change a life.

Media reviews

“Peter Gethers’ trio of books about the globe-trotting Norton are witty and warm. One not only learns of Norton’s sweet personality but also about the author’s not-so-cynical genuine feelings about what really matters when it comes to love and cats.”—Vicki Myron-,author of Dewey: the Small Town Library Cat who Touched the Worllk
