Leigh Rutledge pretty much grew up in his mother's bookstore in Saratoga, California, where he voraciously read everything from Snoopy Come Home to James Joyce and Agatha Christie. In the years since, he has lived in Reno, the Florida Keys, England, Los Angeles, and southern Colorado. During his younger years, he shared his home with 30 housecats -- all abused or abandoned animals -- as well as three dogs, a pet wolf, two goats, and a pet skunk. He currently shares his Vermont home with six cats: Pumpkin, Pretty Kitty, Dodger, Raven, Baby, and Dylan. However, his garden (which is the subject of much town gossip) is reigned over by the blue jays, chipmunks, bumblebees, and sparrows. He works primarily now as a successful photographer and artist. His books have been translated into half-a-dozen or so languages.

Cute kitty themed spoof of the Dear Abby advice column.
I love this book and have read it many times over the years. (Takes less than an hour.) It's clever, funny, and sometimes poignant. If you're a cat lover, try to find a copy of this.
This was a last re-read before I gave it to a cat-loving young friend.

The story goes is that the author overheard a mother cat instructing her kittens about life, and this book is a collection of those instructions, plus sketches of a black cat (my own?) following them.
My personal favorite, which also applies to humans, is lesson 40: "Learn the difference between idleness and repose--one wastes time, the other luxuriates in it."
I learned that my mom and her cat are not unique and "chasing a pingpong ball around the tub" is in fact one of the "three best late-night activities."
Some advice most cats adhere to, others I wish mine would adhere to. Many us humans ought to follow. This is a book for everyone!… (lisätietoja)
