Every year at Christmas, I like to read a few Christmas novels to help me with my seriously lacking Christmas spirit. The author, an animal activist who runs a animal rescue foundation and a self-proclaimed dog person, tells how he becomes the owner of a straggler, half-wild cat on Christmas Eve. First of all, it's not really a Christmas story so that was a disappointment. Second, I'm not an animal activist but I found some of his stories about efforts to relieve animal suffering around the world interesting but didn't really relate. But mostly, I found his conversations with the cat became a little tedious after a while. I've owned several cats in the past and loved them, but I never felt like they were actually talking to me. I'm probably not a good listener. I did like the fact that the cat does not die at the end of the book. That was a refreshing change from other cat books that I have read. Several times I considered quitting the book mid-stream but did manage to finish it, just didn't love it. Maybe if I had read it at a different time, I would have enjoyed it more??
