Synopsis "Feline Inscrutable: A Life Among Rescue Cats (in English)"
Feline Inscrutable provides a sublime recounting of a coast-to-coast journey through teaching, music, region, relationships, and of course, those inscrutable felines, who sometimes bring sorrow, yet also immeasurable joy to everyday life. It is at times both deeply poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, richly detailed and written with enormous craft.Reading the verses, you can feel the gentle, yet mildly abrasive tongue that licks, imagine the soft silken fur rippling beneath the fingers, hear the reassuring rumble of the contented purring, and embrace the sense of warmth and calm that cuddling with cats engenders. That these were all rescue cats, often with very dismal prospects before finding a forever home, makes the collection all the more delightful and endearing.If you've ever loved or lived with a cat - sweet or sulky, wacky or timid, serene or rambunctious - you will be enchanted by how B.D. Love has captured the essence and grace of all of them in this wonderful volume.-Susan Eckler B.D.
