I *loved* this book! I've had four cats in my life, and this book brought all of them back for me, especially my most beloved. Honestly, this book was so moving and so beautifully written, it almost brought me to tears!The kids liked the story, but they'd have not given it five stars. This book was written for cat lovers, and for owners of cats who have lived full lives from bouncy kittenhood to well into creaky old age. This book is a beautiful ode to those cats we've loved so well and so long. It's just lovely.
