There has never been a book quite like Nine ½ Lives. This unique collection of touching tales celebrates senior cats — their enduring love and special charms. What’s more, every book sold supports cat rescue.
It takes you on a journey through the lives we share with senior cats, the ups and downs, the funny quirks and quiet moments that stay with us forever. Nine ½ Lives will make you laugh and cry — often within the same story. In the end, it will rekindle wonderful memories of the ones you have loved along the way.
“These stories are love letters to remind us that cats make life better— in fact, they make us better. And our cats would be the first to say so.”
