Cats touch our lives in many ways and sometimes have such an impact on a human’s
live that the person writes a book about their incredible feline.
Here
is a selection of cat books I found on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. I must
admit that these are book I haven’t read myself yet, but some of them I certainly
will read over time. Amazon might also have Kindle e-book versions. An internet
shop that is cheap and good is: bookdepository.co.uk. They
deliver for free. For epub e-books, try booksonboard.com. They do have Dewey and Homer's odyssee.
Some books might be out of print or in the process of being reprinted. Oh, and I refer to cats as "who" instead of "that" deliberately, because to me they are feline persons.

The
only thing I didn’t like about Dewey’s story is that they got him declawed.
That’s one of the cruellest things you can do to a cat. It’s like cutting off
the fingertips of a human. I will write a special blog about it. I already have
a link up to pawproject.org.
