Cats first purred their way into human hearts thousands of years ago, and have been our treasured companions and soul mates ever since. From the impishness of kittens to the regal mystery of adult cats, our feline companions never cease to captivate our hearts and imaginations. Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul celebrates our feline friends, and the people who love them, in all their varied splendour: their independence, their mystique, their playfulness and, yes, even their disdain. So, smile at their many 'cattitudes' and feed your feline passion with wonderful stories such as these:- A heroic tabby saves the family he loves from a lethal gas leak in their home - A fish-loving shorthair nearly loses his head while scavenging in the rubbish- A three-legged kitten befriends a lonely young girl, transforming her world From playful and hilarious accounts of life with cats to heart-warming tales of cat courage, healing and learning, each touching story in Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul celebrates the special bond we share with our cats.
