This book, just short of 100 pages, is
packed with interesting true stories of a cat named Special T who wandered
into the author’s life. S Jenny Boyer (author) had lost her Maine coon cat,
Jasper, three years earlier due to old age.
The author had originally named the
orange and white lovable tabby cat “Tabitha”. It was only on a visit to the
veterinarian that she found out Tabitha was a “he”, not a “she”. The cat’s name
then became “T”, “Mr. T”, or Special T. “Jessie”,
the author’s Lhasa Apso dog took instantly to Special T and they often shared
nap time cuddling close to each other.
One day while talking to a church-going
friend, the author discovers that her cat had had several owners since her
kitten days. This friend had called the cat “Sweetie Cat” and had to give her
away years later to the pastor and his wife. The pastor and his wife had owned
the cat for several years after that and their kids had called him “Cowboy”. Another
nickname for the cat was “Reds” because of the large red freckle on the left
side of his nose.
Special T had come full circle and truly had
nine lives and died naturally of old age.
I liked the way it was written, very
easy to read and it does hold your interest.
