"And you thought cat ladies were crazy and hopelessly unhip: Like the untamed creatures they adore, they can also be rock-chick-cool. Nina Malkin proves it, smashing tired stereotypes with her seriously funny, on-target memoir of rescue and redemption. I loved this book from head to tail."--Julia Szabo, Pet-Reporter.com"Kudos to Ms. Malkin for by-passing those overworked villain-victim clichés in favor of a delightful albeit necessarily bittersweet celebration of this most challenging and special human-animal relationship."--Myrna Milani, DVM"This sprightly tale will please cat lovers everywhere, and maybe even convert a few dog lovers along the way."--Publisher's WeeklyIn this first-ever feral cat narrative, a Brooklyn woman who "has it all" gets a lot more than she bargained for when a family of wild cats moves into her backyard.
