The book follows the adventures of Michael and these boys while they are aboard the Oronsay, and Michael's later perspective as an older man looking back on this boyhood voyage.

Philip Hensher for The Telegraph is largely positive, writing, "Michael Ondaatje’s impressive new novel, containing dreams and fantasy between a ship’s flanks.

Adam Mars-Jones in his review in the The Observer is less impressed, writing, "Perhaps The Cat's Table aspires to a … doubleness of texture and meaning, the yarn of adventure story backed with the deeper colours of adult experience, but on the level of craftsmanship it, DE, [SC: 2.70], deutliche Gebrauchsspuren, gewerbliches Angebot, circa 11 cm x 17,5 cm, 366, [GW: 204g], [PU: London], Banküberweisung, Internationaler Versand, [CT: Englischsprachige Bücher / Romane (englisch)]<
