I can't imagine another book that is more perfect for gift giving to your favorite animal person this holiday season.Vicki Myron follows up her #1 New York Times bestseller Dewey with stories of cats who inspire their owners and includes two brand-new Dewey stories! Dewey's Nine Lives offers nine funny, inspiring, and heartwarming stories about cats -all told from the perspective of 'Dewey's Mom,' librarian Vicki Myron.ĭewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World was a blockbuster bestseller and a publishing phenomenon. A few of the stories are a bit sad, but they are also very uplifting at the same time. The stories in this book just make you feel good with warm fuzzies. No matter what kind of day Lynda has, Cookie is there for her. Cookie demands to be taken home from a no kill shelter and quickly establishes herself as ruler of the domain she presides over. My other favorite is the story of Cookie, another cat who is not supposed to live and the woman who adopts her even though she doesn't have room for another cat. The most incredible part of the story is how this cat truly helps Bill overcome his own issues by providing unconditional love. The cat lives and survives more animal encounters with a bear and a coyote. This cat was literally dropped onto the roof of his car one night by a bird of prey and Bill takes the cat to a nearby vet in hopes that the animal can be saved. Show More undiagnosed PTSD and the redemption he finds with a black cat who truly had nine lives. It will go on my shelf alongside the original Dewey. Thanks to LT for sending me an Early Reviewer copy of this book. It also helps me remember my own cats and dogs that have passed on.

I love reading about animals so much that I make myself get past the sad parts. I was ready to make a reservation until it was revealed that it isn't like that anymore. My favorite story was about the resort in Florida which at one point was almost overrun with resident cats. She brings us up to date on her life, and her new cat, Dewey’s “replacement,” who is still going strong.

This one has t be rated “CD”.Įxcept for the last one Vicki tells about. In our family, we have a rating system, “DD” (Dog Dies), “HD” (Horse Dies). If you are the type to avoid these books, you may wish to pass on this one, it happens repeatedly. Of course, most of the cats in the stories have already passed on, so you hear of their deaths. All of them are about people whose lives are exceptionally touched by their cat’s involvement in them. Show More the publication of Dewey’s book.Įach of the stories fleshes out the human’s story, too, so they become mini-biographies.
