Reseña del libro "cat companions --- a memoir of loving and learning (en Inglés)"
How living with 21 felines over the course of five decades has enriched one animal lover's life -- This vivid memoir unites fond reminiscence with practical guidance for others who live with cats. The author shares the rewards and education -- an abundance of joys, sorrows, smiles, trials, comforts, chores and unfailing surprises -- afforded by her four generations of cats. Together, they taught intriguing lessons about the nature, needs, behavior, quirks and care of their inimitable species -- and invaluable bonds of affection and mutual dependence. Susan M. Seidman's earlier book about shelter animals, THE PET SURPLUS: What Every Dog and Cat Owner Can Do to Help Reduce It (2001), won praise from humane professionals. Now, she focuses on pets she has welcomed and cherished in her own home. Here you'll meet -- *SUPAN, who craved a full-time family life. *HARRY, the fragile loner. *FELICIA, the born-free spirit who disappeared on walkabouts. *ANGELA, who adapted to incurable allergies. *TIM, who chose another home more to his liking. *FREDDY, the captivating restaurant rescue. *CINDY, a challenge to keep and a problem to re-home. *CHICO, the shameless commuter between households. *Beautiful DAISY, the reincarnated secretary. *TOBY, the just-about-perfect pet...and others who may or may not remind you of a cat you've known. The wealth of insights and useful tips in this book, gained from the writer's years of hands-on experience, should enlighten and entertain every cat lover.
