review 1: No, the book is not about teaching your cat to sit, instead it's about learning to be your authentic self. Cats don't sit on command, it's not who they are, and Michelle Theall is the cat who tries so hard to be a dog in a doggie world. Those of us who are not gay are still able to relate to her story of guilt, betrayal, low-self esteem, and finally a bit of acceptance. I made it through this very readable book in 2 days.
review 2: This book made me confront my own prejudices in a very uncomfortable way. That is a compliment. I was raised Catholic and have remained Catholic, and I know not all priests would have treated the author and her partner in this judgmental way. I was creeped out by the priest who had adopted a son, and I hate to think anyone would j... moreudge all priests by that one. I think the chapters and the topics could have been tightened a bit, and that is my only complaint about the writing. Otherwise, a very good read that only took me one evening. less
