My story, "The Emperor's Blessing," is featured on page 351 of this brand new book. However, I can say without bias (okay, maybe a little) that if you love cats and love stories about cats, this is an excellent book. The stories range from the amusing such as "The Cat Delivers the Goods" wherein an otherwise well-behaved feline decides to relieve himself on the shoe of an annoying pastor, to "CATaclysmic Encounter" where the frustrated author is stuck in traffic and witnesses a holocaust survivor's complete bliss as he feeds hordes of cats. There are some really heart-wrenching stories, too. I had to battle tears more than once, though the greatest concentration of such stories is in the "Learning to let go" section at the back (including my own story).

In addition to the 101 stories, there are also quotes from famous people regarding cats and funny comics by Mark Parisi of Off the Mark.

Cats have a lot to teach us, and this anthology covers the gamut. ( )
