Big Cat, Little Cat

I grew up on a farm with a lot of animals. Dogs, cats, horses, goats. They had a way of cycling through. I loved them and they helped me as I grew and it was never easy when they died. They filled my life. Then I left the farm and went to college and then New York, California, Chicago and New York again, and I never had animals. Until a few years ago, when our daughters convinced me to get cats. There were two. This book starts with that experience.
