Search - My Cat Spit McGee

I read this all in one day--interested especially because my husband was a cat hater, who had to promise to always let me keep a cat as a condition for my agreeing to marry him. The cat I had when we married sort of "tamed" him in much the same way that Spit did William Morris. Now, many, many years later, our current two cats love him so much he has to spend several minutes petting them every night before bed or they act disappointed.

The first two chapters are:
Always a Dog Man, and
How I Hated Cats

The author had other intriguing cats as well as Spit and came to realize how different cats can be from one another, even when blood relatives. There are many interesting observations and anecdotes in this book. It also made me cry a few times, but I was happy to find that Spit McGee was still alive at the end of it.

By the way, he was wrong about one thing: It is not white cats with one gold and one blue eye who are likely to be deaf, but white cats with two blue eyes often are.

This is one of my all time favorite books. I've read it many times and enjoy it more each time I read it.

Even confirmed 'dog people' will like this book; I did.

I enjoyed the book very much!

I did need to use the dictionary occasionally, since the author used at least one 'big' word per chapter that I, as a non-author/writer had never heard of before.

I laughed at the cat & human antics and got teary-eyed at a few sad places too.
Highly recommend!
