review 1: I didn't like her writing style, and the stories felt like it was all over the place and there was a lot of stuff put in that didn't have anything to do with the story. It was like, her are a couple of stories about lost cats in between my personal life and my clients problems. It would have usually taken me an afternoon to read this book. It ended up taking several days just because it was so scattered. I did like the last couple of chapters, but I wouldn't have read it if I thought it was a biography. Also I don't think breaking and entering should be the first idea to rescue a cat. It should be a last resort. Why didn't she try to call her neighbors and see if they had a key they left with somebody there? Did she ever offer to fix the broken window? Was she ever honest ... moreand told her neighbors she had broken in to rescue her cat? It bothered me through the whole book about her cavalier attitude of "just break in and get the cat." The last time I checked, breaking and entering was against the law... Anyways, I wouldn't recommend this book to others.
review 2: Dr Nancy Davidson shares some wonderful insights into the nature of people in general, not just cat lovers. In this book she shares about her passion and interest in Cats, their owners and what she is able to discern from the Missing Cat Posters she finds posted wherever she goes. One is able to identify with some of the narrative in that we all share a common bond-Humanity. Great book for cat lovers and anyone really. less

Humor, pathos and a genuine caring for lost pets and their pawrents.

I recently lost a cat, so I saw a lot of myself in the chapters.

Too much speculative psychoanalysis, not enough cat stories.
