Lyrical, poignant, tender, this is a book clearly written by a cat lover. A slim memoir of her time as an veterinary research assistant in the oncology department of NYC's Animal Medical Center, the author is above all hopeful, despite the inevitable early demise that awaits most of her patients. She knows that while the doctors may not be able to cure the cancers of their feline patients, they can certainly improve the quality of life, allowing the cats to live out their lives as happily as medically possible. Highly recommended.

Extraordinarily witty, and wise about human foibles, with unusual characters as well as a fascinating way of pulling together four plot threads - three from the past and one from 2004. Extremely enjoyable, highly recommended.
