A heartwarming tribute to our feline friends, this collection of real - life stories and captivating photographs will delight, amaze and deeply touch anyone who has ever spent time with a cat. From cats who 'adopted' their owners to strays who visited with a human just long enough to entrust them with their kittens, from loving companions giving solace in times of grief to little bundles of fur given as a child's first pet, this book celebrates the beauty, elegance, and incredible capacity for love of that most selective of pets - the cat! Above all, it shows us why cats matter and why our lives are richer when they share the journey with us.
