(Ojai, CA)

This is a collection of my cat stories and those of others. Throughout the pages of this book, you'll read about clever, clumsy and quirky cats. You'll meet cats that are extraordinarily daring, incredibly spiritual and deliciously humorous. This book also features cool cats, scaredy cats, curious cats, courageous cats and un-catlike cats.

Get to know working cats, traveling cats, pampered and throw-away cats.

You'll fall in love with Frigie Frypan, the fearless chocolate and white cowboy kitten who survived being dumped in a coyote-infested wilderness. Yet, just when he was ready to settle down with a doting family, he was catnapped.

You'll smile while reading the story of Gus,the reluctant babysitting cat. You'll cringe at PomPom's valiant attempt to defend her injured kitten against human intruders and marvel at her sudden uncanny ability to trust one of them completely.

You'll meet an obstinate calico who responds to mind-talk and an engaging Himalayan who responds to a spiritual healing. There's also the story of four aging cats who were orphaned when their owner died and whose uncertain future was purr-fectly orchestrated through nothing less than divine intervention.

You'll be captivated by these stories. You'll laugh, You'll weep and you'll go hug your own cat.
