Coming to it at the age I am now, I found it repetitive and rather exasperating--the cat does nothing but cry all the time. He doesn't look the part of a witch's cat either, he is dark tabby rather than black, he has one white paw and blue eyes so he gets abandoned by the witch after she can't find another witch to take him on, and Gobbolino is alone in the world.

Being so kind-hearted and not keen to perform spells and magic tricks, he gets abandoned by his mistress witch and sets off on a series of adventures to find his fortune elsewhere. Sometimes, we feel that we don't belong--that there is something more out there for us and I admire Gobbolino's desire to break away from what's expected of him. Gobbolino este un pisoi de vrăjitoare, ceea ce îl face special, simpatic, cu trăsături neobișnuite și cu ceva arsenal de vrăji minore. The reader was taken on an emotional roller-coast of repeated anticipation, hope, then disappointment. He tries to be a normal kitchen cat, first at a farm, then an orphanage, then the mayor's house, but his magic always gets him into trouble.Finally accepting his magic, Gobbolino becomes the pedlar-woman's assistant, but his good heart and unwillingness to cause pain mean he fails at every task he is set.

One hardly expects most children's books written for this age level to grapple with such weighty issues, but Ursula Moray Williams's book does just that. Like many good children's tales, the story of Gobbolino will give younger readers cheers and make them wonder.

Instead of learning how to turn mice into toads for the witch's brew, Gobbolino sets out on an adventure to find a family and a home of his own. Deși Gobbolino a fost adorabil, printre cele mai simpatice pisici din cărți despre care am citite, nu prea am fost de acord cu finalul. She said she enjoyed the book but it's not one that I enjoyed all that much, the repetitive format began to pall a bit. So he sets out on a journey to find a new home, but when people discover he is a witch's cat he is blamed for mysterious happenings, such as the farmer's milk turning sour and the orphanage children's gruel turning into chocolate.

Să te schimbi pentru cineva înseamnă că acea persoană nu te va iubi pe tine, ci rolul pe care îl joci. How Gobbolino finally did become a kitchen cat, and found the love he so desperately wanted, makes for a charming story. Born to a witch's cat, Gobbolino wants nothing more than to find a home amongst the warmth and bustle of a kitchen.

He has many adventures along the way and makes many friends, until he finally finds the home he dreams of. He leaves and is adopted by a woodcutter, but the woodcutter's great-granddaughter sells him to a pedlar-woman for a dress. He tries time and again to find a home, but the fact he was born as a witch's cat always follows him and spoils his chances.

Abandoned by his mother and her witch because his "abnormal" white paw and blue eyes makes him unsuitable as a witch's cat, Gobbolino sets off to find a loving home. so how come all the people who met him didn't realise straight away what he was since normal cats can't talk to humans? But in the end, after much wandering about and meeting all sorts of characters along the way, he loses his ability to perform magic and is finally accepted as a proper kitchen cat, and he can happily give lots of affection to his new owners. The witch puts a spell on him, removing his magical powers, and he finds his way back to the farm where he began his journey, his coat having faded to an unrecognisable tabby. I've owned kittens, they grow very fast, and his sister certainly becomes an adult cat in the same time, but Gobbolino remains stunted, kittenish-- immature.
