Excerpt from the book:

"What do you mean, what number am I on?

"You know, what number life. 1, 2, 3 or higher?"

"First off, we never discuss that. Second, we never dwell on that. Third, and this you should know, one should never waste their lives dwelling on matters they cannot do anything about. What number life am I on? It does not matter to you, nor to me. It only matters that we enjoy life as we do. With one another, with love."

Besides being at their beckon call, what do cats really want us humans to do? Follow along in this delightful, heart-warming story as Alec-the-Cat and her little brother, Ted-D, share their lives with their human counterparts, Don and Gloria.

"The manner in which Gould has Don anthropomorphize* both Alec and Ted-D is consistently touching and will doubtless strike a chord with the cat owners who are the book's natural audience." - Kirkus Reviews

anthropomorphize*: To give human characteristics to a pet or such. Example: Winnie-the-Pooh.

Purrr-fectly heartwarming tale. Cute yet sweet story that all cat lovers will appreciate. A heartwarming tale that definitely requires a few tissues of all sorts of tears. Sheri Dowidat via Amazon

"Such a sweet kind book. I smiled and cried with the characters. If you love cats, you will love this story. It will stay with me a long time." Cindy Rutherford via Amazon
