Devastating and beautiful, by turns a fascinating book of animal psychology and a personal memoir of unrelenting trauma, it dares us to take a journey into love and pain.

What makes the book so moving is that it is not merely the saga of a great cat.

A loving and lovely, lay-it-all-on-the-line explication of one man’s fierce attachment. If you love cats and feel slightly sheepish about it, it’s a sturdy defense weapon. If you hate them, well, there’s no hope for you..

Tears will flow, and they will be warranted..

Lively and moving.

Moving.
