It was about a women that had a cat named Amber and she talked to her all the time.

Ok I talk to my cat and dog but I do not say they talked back to me then everyone would think I am crazy, I don't say my cat said to me that "I am bored and wanted my ball but its under the TV and I can't reach it can you get it for me." That would be insane yes animals talk to you though their eyes but it not like they are saying something directly to you. ( )

A gentle book about the deep companionship between a woman and her cat. Not only is it about life with a cat, all their interesting feline habits and traits, but also a compilation of the author's thoughts on many different subjects- from world hunger, the women's liberation movement and ageing to subjects closer to home, like the responsibility we have to those we love, how sensitive pets can be to the emotional tension in a home, or methods for relieving a worried mind- all in the format of discussions she has with her kitty. Amber answers in kind, her direct (or averted) gaze, lifted whiskers, swiveling ears, moving tail or gently prodding paw speaking just as loud as words. A lovely book, indeed.

This book was my introduction to how a person and a cat can have a relationship. Gladys and Amber (her Abyssinian) relate to each other. It's true a cat (or dog) can make a good sounding board, especially when they look at you with those eyes. ( )
