And you thought cat ladies were crazy and hopelessly unhip: Like the untamed creatures they adore, they can also be rock-chick-cool. Nina Malkin proves it, smashing tired stereotypes with her seriously funny, on-target memoir of rescue and redemption. I loved this book from head to tail. Julia Szabo, Pet-Reporter.com Kudos to Ms. Malkin for by-passing those overworked villain-victim cliches in favor of a delightful albeit necessarily bittersweet celebration of this most challenging and special human-animal relationship. Myrna Milani, DVM This sprightly tale will please cat lovers everywhere, and maybe even convert a few dog lovers along the way.
