Cat Out of Hell
Cat Out of Hell | Lynne Truss
12 posts | 17 read | 9 to read
The mesmerising tale of a cat with nine lives, and a relationship as ancient as time itself and just as powerful. The scene: a cottage on the coast on a windy evening. Inside, a room with curtains drawn. Tea has just been made. A kettle still steams. Under a pool of yellow light, two figures face each other across a kitchen table. A man and a cat. The story about to be related is so unusual yet so terrifyingly plausible that it demands to be told in a single sitting. The man clears his throat, and leans forward, expectant. 'Shall we begin?' says the cat.

This book was not at all what I was expecting…a tale of talking, reading, traveling and murdering Evil Cats and how they came to be. Witty, funny, odd.
⭐️: 3.5/5

I used this one for the Beastly Titles prompt on my #AutumnBookBinge. In the beginning I felt that this was a bit too far fetched for me, but about a third of the way in I embraced the idea.

An interesting and enjoyable read that I'm glad I persisted with.

I do not feel that the author really carried the idea behind the novel off properly. The idea that cats are evil is long standing in myth and folklore. That premise lies behind this book but I did not feel that it was very well developed.

Happy #internationalcatday to this floof who, in her younger days, was indeed a cat out of hell. At 17, she's settled purrrrfectly into a life of leisure.

There are acouple of reasons this does not get the best rating:
My expectation: based upon the title I expected something much funnier, so I was a bit disappointed.
Also, this did not really feel like a mystery to me, there was not much how and why..

The idea is great though. Everyone knows cats are send by the devil (I love cats) 😄

drokka I'm going to assume there were also no ducks. 7y

Lord of the Rings is children's literature?🤔
Though I read them when I was a child I would only consider the Hobbit to be a children's book...

julesG Agree! Would not consider LotR children's lit. (Just watched Paddington with my daughter. Hilarious!) 7y

-Ok, seriously, stop taking pictures of us for Litsy and give us our damn dinner already! You've been warned! - Cinna and Katniss were not up to posing for #InternationalCatDay when there's food to be eaten. I decided to feed them BEFORE I posted this photo just in case they mobilize and hatch a plan of attack like the felines in Cat Out of Hell. This book will make you look at your furry little buddies with just a bit of wariness and unease 😹
