A Letter to My Cat: Notes to Our Best Friends

Charming quick entertaining read for cat lovers--the wonderful, terrible, quircky, perplexing, sustaining nature of our cat companions and how we feel about them is in every page. I'm a life long animal lover, and have always had 3 cats (for their mutual company) for the last 30 years. I could never have gotten through it without them. A testament to their importance in my life: I dedicated my Ph.D. dissertation not to parents or human friends, but to my 3 cats without whom I could never have completed it. Moves and housing have always been planned to include them without fail. Animal companions are for life--and they repay us 1000 fold. This book is like a companion to the other similar volume, A Letter to My Dog, which I also enjoyed. God bless our furry friends....

As a lifelong animal lover, adopter of numerous strays over the years and currently proud mama to 2 INCREDIBLY SPOILED rescued cats, I LOVED this book immensely, so much so that I purchased another copy for my daughter who lives in California, works for a major animal pharmaceutical company, and recently adopted a rescue cat of her own. It's hereditary, we are all "stray magnets" in our family - and that's OK. This is a very heartwarming book filled with love, hope and wonderful stories of selfless animal lovers giving animals in need loving homes. A great "feel good" book that spreads the word that, "We are Their Voice." Please visit your local shelter and save a life (or two!).

If you love animals, grab your furry friend and curl up with this little gem. I love, love love the amazing letters in this book. There is good variety and lots of good stories. Get ready to shed a tear when you read Jackson Galaxy's letter to Velouria.... and for a laugh check out Lauren Caltagirone's letter to Austin and Harris. Plus -- the photos are beautiful! -- my favorites include Kat Von D's hairless cat - it's a stunner... and I love Diane Warren's Cornish Rex, Mouse. Lil BUB is in the mix too, adorable. I would highly recommend this as a holiday gift. I've already ordered a handful for my cat-loving friends. Affordable and lovely.

I bought this book because I am a total cat lover. I adore the little fur babies more than anything. I saw Kat Von D's cats (Piaf & Poe) were in this so I HAD to own it.I cried, I laughed, I hugged my cat way too many times while reading these heartfelt letters from people to their beloved cats. If you've ever felt like your cat is more a family member than a pet, you'd love this book.Oh also, I can't see any cat lover not falling in love with this book so it'd make a great Christmas gift.

Some of the letters will make you cry. A lot will make you laugh All are great. I loved this book.

So validating of the affect our pets have on us and what they do for us.... Now I know I am not crazy, overly sensitive, too attached or any other verbs some use to describe how I love and appreciate my cats as my friends and as part of my family. It was so nice to read and relate to all these letters of humore, emotion and love that people have for their felines. I'm sure "dog people" must have similar feelings. But for me, cats are more mysterious and would never be without them.

I have seen this book in various boutiques and I always love it .. I bought this as a gift for a friend. I have previously bought "A letter to my dog" - this is a fantastic book for animal lovers and a great price on Amazon

I won a copy of this great book on their Facebook page, so i Bought this for my cat loving friend. She loves it. The stories make you laugh and cry. It inspired me to write letters to my cats. If you are a cat lover or know someone who is, this is a great gift they will surely love.

Cancer (lymphoma) took away my beloved cat Elsa in Nov 2016. She was only seven. I was expecting many more happy years together, depending on her for comfort and companionship (especially since my dog passed away recently too), but her sudden departure left me feeling lost and without purpose. Grief stricken, I wrote Elsa a heartfelt letter telling her what she meant to me and thanking her for the years of love. I thought I was the only one who wrote a letter to my cat until I accidentally found this book. I must say, reading it was therapeutic. One thing I have in common with all these people who wrote these letters is how much we all love our cats. They are not only our family members... they are heavenly creatures gifted to privileged people who understand the meaning of sharing our lives with them. Other people can see our relationship with dogs when they are taken on walks, but rarely does the outside world know the bond we have with our cats because their affection is all so private. They touch us in the most profound ways imaginable, and losing them can be unbearable. Reading this book is like saying everything you ever wanted to say to your own cat. It may inspire you to write a letter of appreciation to your own cat. Perhaps it may persuade you to rescue a shelter/street cat like I did, or you may be lucky enough to have a cat rescue you.

Excellent! For anybody who loves cats. Well presented. Beautiful photos.
