Cats can bring out latent talents in humans, and they do so with remarkable success for Joyce FitzGerald Galloway, as told in THE CATS WHO LOVE(D) ME AND THE ONE WHO DOESN'T. It all begins one stormy night when the author retrieves a drenched and frightened tiger kitten from a gutter near her home in Ireland. Penny is to lead the parade of these cats, cats with colorful beauty and remarkable individuality, as they are endowed with special gifts, all but one giving her affection. For instance, there's Spot, the watch-cat who thwarts a burglary, and Bunny, a cross between a rabbit and a clown. Here is a book that has cats cavorting through its pages, each brought to life by the author's descriptive powers that illuminate the surroundings. These cats that tap the author's ability to nurture also tap the reader's wonder in this entertaining and amusing book. "This book is bound to create more feline fanatics. It takes the reader behind the cat's clever intelligence, its devilish tricks, and its emotional attachment. It virtually guarantees homes for many a deserted kitten." - Walter Cronkite
