A friend of mine who is familiar (and a bit confused) with my obsession with my cat Vivié recommended Bukowski’s reflections on cats, a collection by Harper Collins. And, needless to say, I am absolutely delighted.

Yep they definitely are…Although I am unusual in that I love dogs and cats equally, both are beautiful in their own ways.
