From the dust jacket: "Tis the night before Christmas when a bedraggled white feline enters the heart-and home-of Cleveland Amory. To say it is a friendly takeover is an understatement. For the cat who came for Christmas is clearly of the Independent Type, and Cleveland Amory, who has rescued many a homeless creature as President of The Fund for Animals, is, where his own pets are concerned, primarily a 'dog man.'
As it is with all good relationships, domestic skirmishes are their modus vivendi. Toe-to-toe they stand-Amory at six feet three, the cat at six inches-and eyeball-to-eyeball each other on every issue-whether or not to come when called, to recognize one's name, to take a trip, a pill, a bath or a walk on a leash."

Delightful.
This is a book full of wit and compassion. I found it hard to put down.
