The very best read for our very best and honorable cat companions

This is a lovely tribute to cats I always send a copy to dear friends who have lost beloved cats to the "heavyside layer." His eloquently written verse helps to ease the pain of loss. Highly recommended for feline friends. A classic like "old possum.,s book of classical cats"🐈😻❤️ by TS Eliot.
