Anat Levit never considered herself a cat lover, but when her life was thrown into upheaval, she found herself adopting one cat at the suggestion of her daughters, and then six more in quick succession. Anat falls in love with the furry creatures, whose escapades and tribulations lead her into deep friendships, difficult decisions, and unexpected insight into her relationships. The cats love her in the way she wishes she could love others: intensely yet independently, without renouncing their unique personalities. In Seven Cats I Have Loved, she delves into the feline mind with sensitivity, gentleness, and compassion, while also revealing a moving human story. translated by Yardenne Greenspan

This account of Jo Coudert's life in New York and New Jersey describes living with seven cats and one dog. Through observing their behaviour, she draws parallels and conclusions about human nature. The anecdotes feature all seven cats and provide insights into ways of leading a more contented life. For example, a safe life with no risks may seem sensible, but a cat imprisoned indoors to prevent it being run over will be miserable; the author deduces adventure is good for the soul. Time spent watching Trot, proudly cleaning himself taught her to develop more pride in her own appearance and self; she stopped wearing tatty clothes, improved her posture and found herself working more efficiently.

Cats I Have Loved celebrates my life with cats. Ten of these indelible individuals, each totally different from the others, shared my adult life. I structured this book around these ten unforgettable, singular individuals, allotting each a chapter, in the hope of capturing the colorful and varied personalities of each of my furry companions and probing the life lessons each has taught me. Additional chapters are devoted to other animals that enlivened my life, including the canines and felines from the Animal Protection League of Tampa Bay, where I served for several years as the “Adoption Lady,” the University of South Florida feral cats, and the amazing birds, bunnies, and dogs that have fluttered, hopped, and trotted in and out of my life as fleeting guests rather than permanent residents. This book also chronicles my husband’s and my struggles to aid animal welfare and prevent animal abuse. Intertwined with the narrative of all these remarkable creatures is the story of a couple who always enjoyed the succor and solace of their feline friends. Ultimately, this book is a tribute to the feline companions that have so enriched my life, providing entertainment and anxiety, laughter and migraines, celebration and heartache, while teaching me so much about love and the meaning of life.

In 1998, Deborah Burford and her husband, David, loaded their cars and trailer with their belongings-along with four cats, two dogs, and one ferret-and departed New Jersey for a new home in the North Georgia mountains. In Love from the Mountains, Deborah shares a compilation of her weekly columns, originally published in The North Georgia News and The Towns County Herald, bringing to life the humorous voices of the animals-both wild and domestic-who share the woods with her. There's a squirrel named Howard, who taunts Miss Adventure the cat with unsavory language; there's Mangefur, the opossum who develops a taste for high-priced birdseed, and Bosley and Cosette, the miniature poodles who possess an insatiable appetite for puddle-surfing. Exploring the entertaining world of nature, Deborah includes amusing anecdotes about a hungry bear with an eclectic appetite, a ferret who likes women's toes, and four mutt cats who rely on their patience to torment other animals crazy enough to traipse into their environment. The true animal stories in Love from the Mountains prove that the furry creatures who share our world with us really do have opinions on just about everything we humans do.
