About this title

Synopsis

This book explores the bond between Kitty, a creatively named Siamese cat, and the woman who lives with her, Pamela Wallin (notice we dared not say owner). Kitty has been at Pamela's side through many of the traumas that life offers up -- divorce, being fired and battling cancer -- and countless other emotional crises that punctuate a life story. Someone once said, in order to keep a true perspective on one's importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him. In fact, the words of Albert Schweitzer more accurately reflect the sentiment of this There are two means of refuge from the miseries of music and cats. Through the words and experiences of cat lover Pamela Wallin and through the eyes of award winning photographer, Anne Bayin, witness the strange beauty, history, elegance and humour of our feline friends.
