I never lived with a cat until I was forty years old. During the following thirty years there has always been at least one cat sharing its 9 lives with me. This book is a sharing, by way of anecdotes and photographs, of my experiences with the cats I've known. It is at times humorous, at times sad and occasionally informative. It is always absorbing because of the beautiful furry creatures who inhabit the pages of "Cats I've Known." My promise to the reader is that it will bring back bittersweet remembrances of a cat you've owned.
