Short Cat Tales - Amy Kristoff - Bog

Short Cat Tales" includes thirteen stories not only about cats but the lives of some eccentric characters, many of them cat owners but not always! One story, 'Cat Lady" is a bittersweet drama, whose protagonist realizes at the end, she may be related to the helpless young widow to whom she delivers meals and who appears to be a cat hoarder but is actually unwantedly "given" the cats. Dark humor can be found in "Here, Kitty, Kitty," which involves a young woman who is ill-equipped in more ways than one to try and catch a stray cat, and the result shows how pitiful she is. In the humorous story "The Cat Writer," the main character, a children's book author, doesn't even own a cat but has a cat she created for her books, to thank for her "fame and fortune." She must therefore rectify the situation.
