The Soul of a Cat, and Other Stories
Margaret Benson and Henriette Ronner
101 pages~2 hr read25 chaptersFree this month
Cats, their author insists, have inner lives worth taking seriously: pride, cynicism, sudden affection, and moods no dog would recognize. Margaret Benson gathers character studies of the cats she knew, from clever Joey to vain Taffy, mixing humor with genuine observation. A gentle, witty collection for anyone who has tried to read a cat's mind and lost.
Includes read-aloud narration with live word highlighting.
