IF YOU THINK
"a cat is a cat is a cat,"
think again!
Each of the 10 cats profiled in
Confessions of a Cataholic
has a
singular personality
whose quirks and foibles come vividly alive
in the book's pages.
Marian Van Til is a
keen observer of
all things feline
and presents a
compelling picture of the joys and sorrows
of living with cats,
at times as many as
six at once.
She clearly understands
felis domestica
as deeply as she loves
the species,
and passes much of her knowledge on to readers.
That makes this book as helpful and informative
to cat lovers as it is engrossing.
Marian tells with poignancy, humor and deep affection
the story of the
“10 cats who caused her addiction” -–
marvelous creatures
who she admits have
changed her life.
