"When a book can make me laugh and cry, it has done its job." When Chari Fish opens her home to a cat with the disposition of Rodney Dangerfield and the addictive properties of chocolate, all hell breaks loose. Climbing trees and chasing squirrels across rooftops are just a precursor to mightier transgressions like springing onto the steering wheel of Chari's moving car after a misguided adventure through a car wash. Then there are the neighborhood bouts of kleptomania, followed by the dognapping of a Black Lab. HE HAD ME AT MEOW is the humorous tale of a rambunctious cat who strained the patience of his human mom while teaching her the meaning of a life well-lived, and never failing to demonstrate the depth of his love. If there were ever a cat that infused all nine lives with fervor, Cooper was his name.
