This book of touching cat stories, some humorous, some sad, is a purr-fect gift for cat lovers.

Cats I’ve Known

Barbara Bowers’ apartment compound in Key West is a genuine Animal House. Only, this is no college fraternity, and the animals that hang out here are cats…the four-legged, domestic variety, as well as the two-legged kind. When she compares the behavior of felines that live on the property with the human cats that come and go, you’re bound to laugh out loud, maybe even cry.

Meet Buster Bent-tail, an artistic cat who brings to mind Bowers’ friendship with the late, great Shel Silverstein; or Ms. Martello, a prissy, sassy cat with as much charm as Bowers’ southern-belle of a god-daughter, Sarah Bentley. Key West Pussy Cat dominates his territory (in Key West and in Alaska) with the authority of CNBCs Bill Bolster. There’s Zachary Taylor and Atocha Goodheart, Fearless Zardo and a whole cast of characters truly worthy of Key West who demonstrate that true stories are truly stranger than fiction.
