About this ebook
This wonderful volume celebrates the moments we share with our feline friends—those both tender and amusing. It reminds us of the unique idiosyncrasies that keep us in their thrall: their independence and their affection, their mystique, their playfulness and, yes, even their disdain.
Deep down, all cat lovers know that the animals they love are great big lions in disguise. This romantic notion is captured in the photographs, stories, poems and witticisms that grace these pages.

the kids asked.
Miracle of miracles, the following spring, Cookie magically reappeared, looking healthy and clean. Everyone figured Cookie must have been sowing his wild oats in another neighborhood.
Everything went back to normal at the store. Cookie once more checked all the nooks and crannies of the store to make certain there had been no unwelcome visitors while he was away. He did his job perfectly until autumn, when Cookie once again disappeared!
Once more there was considerable consternation by his owners and their children. How would Cookie weather the winter snows and the freezing cold?
The next spring, just when the baby leaves started to form on the trees, Cookie returned again!
Cookie’s owners began asking neighbors for any information as to where he might have been. The kids asked their friends if any of them knew where Cookie went during
