May Sarton's fictionalized account of her cat Tom Jones's life and adventures prior to making the author's acquaintance begins with a fiercely independent, nameless street cat who follows the ten commandments of the Gentleman Cat-including "A Gentleman Cat allows no constraint of his person, not even loving constraint." But after several years of roaming, Tom has grown tired of his vagabond lifestyle, and he concludes that there might be some appeal after all in giving up the freedom of street life for a loving home. It will take just the right human companion, however, to make his transformation from Cat About Town to genuine Fur Person possible. Sarton's book is one of the most beloved stories ever written about the joys and tribulations inherent in sharing one's life with a cat.

30 years ago at a library old book sale, I bought this book for my 6 y/o daughter. We all loved it! When she moved out on her own she took it and I kept looking to buy another and now I found it. Any pet lover will relate to it, not just cat lovers. I'm so happy that The Fur Person came home again.

Love it!!!
I read this book for the 1st time over 25 years ago and I make it a point to read it annually because I enjoy it so much. I love the mind of Tom Jones as he goes through his life and experiences. Naturally, when I read it my cat is purring on my lap and we enjoy it together. This is my favorite book of all times. Light reading but oh so realistic into a cat's mind. My favorite part is when he see the toy mouse and gets ruffled because it is fake....but then, watch out.
