Dewey's Nine Lives

Dewey's Nine Lives: the legacy of the small-town library cat who inspired millions by Vicki Myron  306 pp.

This is not really a sequel to the story of Dewey, the kitten found in a library book drop, who lived out his life in the library and befriended the patrons & staff. There are some anecdotes about Dewey. Most of the stories are about others who had their lives affected and/or changed by a cat or cats in their lives. Most of the stories are sweet, many sad, and many amusing. Some of the cats, like Ninja, were real characters. Others were just cute & cuddly and gave their owners the love they needed at just the right time. Cat lovers will enjoy this book.

One thing the book made me realize was how much the ruler of my house, Maddie Cat, did many of the same things for our family when I was going through cancer treatment.
