"Ms. Halloff does for stray cats what Richard Adams did for rabbits. This book is more worth downloading than anything else I have seen on Amazon this year." T. Ormiston-Smith, "T.C.", Amazon Reviewer
"Patricia Halloff is an excellent writer. There is absolutely no doubt she knows and understands the nature of cats." D. Blankenship, Amazon reviewer
"It is beautifully written and tells a painful truth about how humans treat animals." Fierce Goose, Amazon Reviewer
Sisypuss, a feline optimist and true believer in luck (though most of his is rotten), reminisces about the homeless journey through truths and lies, danger and safety, love and enmity, made with his brother Bob and an odd assortment of characters, animal and human met along the way.
Three paws in the grave, Sisypuss interweaves memories and his current life as Booley's cat companion with Booley's seriocomic troubles with drugs (he enrolls in clinical trials as a work alternative), unfaithful women, and poetry editors.
Sisypuss tells how, among other things, he and his brother survive an animal shelter, a research lab which wrecks their health, the death of a loved guardian, a godforsaken wood where his try at love with a feral heartbreaker leaves him singing the castrato blues, and finally the overwhelming event leading him to Booley and safety.
