The Cat Who Came for Christmas - Cleveland Amory

The Cat Who Came for Christmas - Cleveland Amory

January 1, 1988

Was there any question that I would have a copy of a book about a grumpy guy who gets a cat <i>for Christmas</i>? Or that I would like it? If I had my druthers all grumpy people would be given a new pet. As would all non-grumpy people.

For the record, I should point out that Amory is a sweetheart, despite his self-description as a curmudgeon, who has devoted a tremendous amount of his time and energy to The Fund for Animals. I actually liked the bits about The Fund even more than the history of cats or the personal anecdotes. (The anecdotes reveal him to be a bit Andy Rooneyish in his grumbles).

Personal, signed copy.
