The Tenth Life Everyone knows cats have nine lives! Or at least it seems they do, given the scrapes they get themselves in and out of. This is primarily the story of Maxwell Magee, a tuxedo housecat companion to Hugh Magee for over 17 years. His time on earth came to an end, and off he went to the Rainbow Bridge, where for the next 26 years (in human time, not heaven's time) he was for the most part the be all and know all cat for the others he knew or came to know. He enjoyed a special relationship with Andrew, one of the angels of death who accompanied animals as they made their way to the great Rainbow Bridge we've all heard about in legends.
