Cat Wisdom 101 ? Cherished To The End

Cherished: 21 Writers on Animals They Have Loved and Lost is a collection of 21 essays edited by Barbara Abercrombie on pet loss from writers like Ann Lamott and Jane Smiley who recall the demise of beloved pets. This is not exclusively a cat book but every pet owner can commiserate. The pets range from dogs and cats to horses and pigs. Beautifully written, it will move you to tears (you?ll want to have hankie nearby). From ?Mr. T?s Heart? by Jane Smiley: ?We stayed with him long enough to recognize that he was not there, that his body was like a car he had driven and now had gotten out of?We have to experience the absence of life in order to accept it.?

There is a comfort knowing that grieving a pet is not only acceptable but a universal part of loving one. All royalties are donated to The Best Friends Animal Society which runs the largest sanctuary for abused and abandoned animals.
