SEVEN CATS I HAVE LOVED

'Unlike my two-legged loves, my cats almost never meowed any complaints about me. But, like most people I love, they were the ones who usually dictated the nature of our relationship, including the timing and manner of intimacy and distance between us... They cater to no one but themselves.' When Anat Levit's life was thrown into upheaval, she found herself adopting one cat at the suggestion of her daughters, then six more in quick succession. In her memoirs she recounts how each cat came into her life, their distinctive demeanours and curiosities, and their ability to live fully in each moment. She falls in love with her pets, their escapades and tribulations that lead into deep friendships, difficult decisions, and unexpected insights into her connections with former lovers, her daughters, and her own health. The cats love her in a way she wishes she could love others - intensely yet independently, without renouncing their unique personalities. This heartfelt tribute to the feline tribe in her life will make you laugh and cry, short and sweet at just 132 pages with fairly large print.
