Not a bunch of cat stories making me ball my eyes out. These stories are sweet and sad. Some of them have wonderful life lessons. The first story was my favorite and made me weep.

Pro tip: If possible, this book is best enjoyed with a cat snuggled up on your lap and a box of tissues nearby.

This collection of short stories didn't hit in the same emotional level as The Traveling Cat each time, but all were delightful and some bittersweet.
