      About the Book

      This charming collection shares stories about the author's parade of cats through his household, including Lucy, a vagabond who came to him near death's door, as well as Mitten, Rainbow, Johnny Ringo, and others. "It's easy to get lulled into believing our cats will live forever . . . But I always had a feeling that Lucy's time with us would be short. As a result, I tried extra hard to make her daily life as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I discovered peace in my care for her . . . I loved her not only for who she was, but for who I became when I was with her."Narratives about cats are always best sellers, and this superbly written memoir of a lifelong kitty conga is going to get raves from readers and even their people.
