Tales of mischief and narratives of compassion serve as a bridge to the heart of feline fanciers. This charming assortment of stories offers the refreshing surprise that wisdom abounds in both the good and not-so-good experiences with a cat.

• bringing cheer at a prison
• surviving 9-11
• presiding at a clinic
• comforting the cancer-stricken
• leaving a memorial after Hurricane Katrina
