Not just about cats—Stories weird, amusing, strange and maybe even true. The fascinating ways that humans can interact with animals wild, feral, domestic and stray. Tales sad, joyous, scary and funny. Taking you to exotic places: rivers, stables, ponds and bars, Las Vegas and Key West, the Meatpacking District and, especially, Greenwich Village, NYC.

These beasties can be as odd as the very humans they interact with, not only in appearance, such as huge red-eyed albino rats, or lavender-colored cats, but also in attitude: charming, over-friendly police dogs, a homicidal kitten, and a very smart fish.

Pour yourself a cup of tea, or a large gin and tonic, collapse into an easy chair and prepare to be intrigued and entertained. You'll never look at a pet store when you pass the same way again.
