Felix the Railway Cat

This is a sweet story of how a small cat made a big difference in peoples' lives. Not just in her co-workers' lives, also in the lives of people who had casual contact with Her Majesty. You never know when a small thing can make a big difference.I mention that Felix is still alive at the end of the book because it seems like many books end with the passing of the main character.I wish there were more pictures, of Felicia friends, the station, and of Billy's Garden.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Felix the Railway Cat. I became a part of Felix’s life as I read this book and he introduced me to his many friends.

I never would have run across this book if it had not be recommended on a UK Crime FB page. I was on crime overload, and, as a cat fancier and cat mom, I was immediately hooked. Felix's tale begins, when as part of a litter of 5, she becomes a railway cat at the Huddersfield station once she is old enough to leave the litter, at 8 weeks. As the story unfolds, Felix wins the hearts of employees, commuters, travelers, and (nearly) everyone she meets. Her antics, her empathy, her beauty, her day to day job as "pest-controller" are a joy to read. Be prepared to laugh, shake your head in wonder, and shed some tears. It is not a sad book, it is one of affirmation. It delivers hours of pure enjoyment. I have pre-ordered the further tale, Full Steam Ahead, and cannot wait for July to read it!

After following Felix on Facebook for a couple years, I finally bought her first book and am so glad I did. My daughter and I have enjoyed reading it together. It has given me a better understanding and appreciation for Felix and her Huddersfield Station colleagues. The book tells how the station decided to get a station cat, how Felix became that cat, and how Felix has impacted her colleagues, railway customers, and fans around the world. I only wish there were more pictures of Felix in it. I heartily recommend this book. It is a great read and Felix is a great cat and colleague.

Being a lover of cats with two of my own, I knew I'd enjoy this book. In fact my youngster looks just like her, only mines a lad! :) My mother brought the paperback while visiting her sister in York. Telling me about it while we caught up with family. Just had to add it to my collection and started reading when we got back to New Zealand.If you enjoy stories about cats both fantasy and real you will enjoy this story.

This is such a fun book. It tells the story of a much loved station cat. This is a delightful read for cat lovers, railroad buffs, and anyone who enjoys a very British story. As I read, I became very involved in the lives of Felix and all the humans who keep things moving at her very busy station. I am so glad that I have come to know Felix and her friends. The reader can also follow Felix's posts on Facebook.

I'm a cat owner. The biography of Felix the Railway Cat could only be written by a cat person. From the antics of kittenhood too queen make for a fun tale of a truly loved moggy. I didn't want too put the book down. It definitely shows how close the bonds of human and pet can become.

Great fun! I bought it for a dear little friend whose name is Felix, it seemed completely appropriate. My name is KAT, so the whole thing makes sense! Felix loved it!

I've read this book 5 times, I just love it , met both Felix and Bolt, it is very comforting .

It is such a beautiful story.I have always been fond of Cats.In fact I have looked after Several Strays n Adopted Stray Cats n looked after them for 25 years. Several have passed on to Rainbow Land.Even now I feed n look after Stray Cats. Dogs too.So this story was so Beautiful.Each Cat is different. No two cats have the same habits.Everyone should read this book.I really want to go n see *Felix* n give him a Cuddle n lots of Treats.

Easy and charming read. Well told.

Ho comprato questo libro perché parla della mia città e avevo già sentito parlare di questo gatto. E' stato un libro molto piacevole, a volte divertente e a volte triste, ma racconta bene una storia che continua ancora oggi.
