This was a fun book! It's an easy read and very entertaining to this cat fan. I can't imagine putting all the money into my pets that these folks did, but I noted that only one story (the one mrsjones mentioned about the girl with cancer) had a cat that lived with a family including children! The cats in these stories are the people's children. We used to be like that at our house but when our "real" kids came along the pets were put in perspective. I remember sleeping in my clothes and shoes when my cat didn't come home at bedtime, fearing I would have to leap out of bed and rescue her! We still love our cats, mind you, but they don't quite run the house like they used to.

I agree that this lady's job really seems more like just common sense to me (I was afraid it was going to be one of those people who claims to have psychic connections with cats--sheesh). I admire her most for her willingness to step into uncomfortable situations and not let people's doubts and criticisms hold her back. My favorite story I think was the one with Freddie (who kept spraying the wife's clothes). I'd like to read some of her other books.
