Confessions from the Cattery!

Candid diaries of twenty-one felines who have made their home at Mannahatta, the national award-winning Maine Coon cattery,
and at Friskie's Feline Finishing School, its rescue component.........

 

In a series of dramatic monologues these colorful characters tell their heartwarming tales, both funny and sad,
with spice, wit, and more than a little wisdom.  Through the eyes and voices of these "tribesman," four-legged folks can
enter the magical,  metaphysical world of the feline mind.

Prose and poetry for the ultimate cat-lover,
based on the true-life experiences of a Maine Coon breeder. 
Curl up with a kitten or two under each arm, a cup of tea in hand,
and this book on your lap. You won't regret it!

Donna Pucciani, poet/author Jumping off the Train, The Other Side of Thunder & Chasing the Saints
