Catscapades: Tales of Ordinary and Extraordinary Cats
by Patricia Fry
Every cat I’ve loved has come with at least one peculiarity distinguishing this cat from every other cat. It’s these enchanting and not so enchanting distinctions that inspired this collection of true cat stories. Throughout the pages of this book, you’ll be treated to stories about my own cats and those of others. You’ll read about clever, clumsy and quirky cats. You’ll meet cats that are extraordinarily daring, incredibly spiritual and deliciously humorous. This book also features cool cats, scaredy cats, curious cats, courageous cats and quite un-catlike cats.
Catscapades now features 80 photos depicting over 40 cats—cats with attitudes, dress-up cats, lazy cats, cats at play, cats of color, curious cats, clever cats, busy cats, helpful cats, formerly feral cats and cats that are simply hanging out waiting to be admired.
You’ll fall in love with Frigie FryPan, the fearless chocolate and white cowboy kitten who survived being dumped in a coyote-infested wilderness. Yet, just when he was ready to settle down with a doting family, he was catnapped.
You’ll smile while reading the story of Gus, the reluctant babysitting cat. You’ll cringe at PomPom’s valiant attempt to defend her injured kitten against human intruders and marvel at her sudden uncanny ability to trust one of them completely.
You’ll meet an obstinate calico who responds to mind-talk and an engaging Himalayan who responds to a spiritual healing. And then there’s Sammy, the cat who changed a heart. Read about adventuring cats, heroic cats, traveling cats and working cats as well as throwaway cats, some of whom have created new lives for themselves. There’s also the story of four aging cats who were orphaned when their owner died and whose uncertain future was purr-fectly orchestrated through nothing less than divine intervention.
You’ll be captivated by these stories. You’ll laugh, you’ll weep and you’ll go hug your own cat—or adopt one who needs you.
