CATechisms (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798899901881)

Ostensibly about a specific cat, this book has higher hopes-that all cat lovers, and pet owners, will find here some of their own love for these remarkable beings that inherit our homes and our hearts. I have had a life full of dogs and cats, but was always working or going to school, and so I only experienced limited periods of time with my pets. This book shows what happened after I retired, adopted an old cat, and could observe him and fully engage with him around the clock. The time was, as you see, lovingly repaid and cherished. Having sat on my lap or next to me in his desk bed during much of the writing of these poems, Ramen has given them his approval.

If you haven't yet, make room in your heart: adopt a pet.
