Google Preview: This serene meditation on the special bond between cat lovers and their aloof, playful, adorable, and intelligent objects of affection captures in words and pictures the many quiet pleasures that only cats can provide. Pamela Wallin eloquently shares her feelings about one particular Siamese, appropriately named "Kitty," striking a peaceful, introspective tone befitting her subject. Kitty has been at Pamela's side through many of life's traumas, and Pamela records her reflections on the solace and joy that come from her purring and comforting companion. But beyond personal touches, Pamela also explores the place of cats in history, lore, literature, and art, introducing us along the way to numerous famous cats and cat owners. The beautiful photography of Anne Bayin accompanying the text reveals Kitty's many-faceted personality in various tranquil domestic settings. This affectionate tribute will delight cat lovers and please their feline friends.; Pamela Wallin (Toronto, Ontario) is the bestselling author of Speaking of Success and the memoir Since You Asked. Her career in radio, print, and television has spanned more than twenty-five years and several continents.
