Summary: Heartwarming book
Comment: On Christmas Eve, Cleveland Amory and Ruth Dwork try their hardest to rescue a shabby and very dirty cat. After a few cuts and scratches, Amory manages to get the cat, who isn't overly happy about being rescued. Once the cat was brought back to the apartment, he takes off running to see if he could find an escape route. Altough he did manage to get himself stuck under the diswasher, on his own time, he came out from hiding. After a bath, which the cat was quite happy to have, he turned out to be a beautiful white cat with sparkling green eyes. Amory then had decided that he wasn't giving his new companion up, even though this was supposed to be a temporary arrangement.
So begins the story of Mr. Amory and his new companion Polar Bear. One afternoon, Amory gave the cat a toy ball, something he had obviously never had before. After batting it around a few times, he lost it. Amory attempted to train his cat to fetch the ball, since he was getting tired of playing Golden Retriever. The cat looked at him and thumped his tail a few times, trying to get into his head that cats do not fetch or retrieve. Amory figured that cats simply did not like games. When in fact, cats do like games, but only on their terms. These games must be games that they wanted to play, and must be initiated by them.
This is such a wonderful story of how a crusty cat changed the life of a former "dog person". This book is a must for cat people.

Summary: The Cat Who Came for Christmas
Comment: If you have ever been owned by a cat and/or enjoy cat stories, I highly recommend this audio book. I am referring to the abridged audio book version of the Cat Who Came for Christmas read by the author Cleveland Armory. The author's voice is deep and pleasant and he easily captivates you so that you are part of the story. It is perrrrrfect to put you in the mood for Christmas. I listened to the whole story (one cassette) while driving around town doing holiday shopping.

Summary: ~very, very funny book~
Comment: i found this book in the back of my closet when i was about 10 years old and when i first read it, i thought some parts were funny but i didn't understand most of the humor or vocabulary.
i just picked it up again this past year and its now my favourite book. it goes through some history about animals,(not just cats) some literature, lots of quotes and some of Amory's own history. the humor is cynical and hilarious, ranging from pill-ing cats to california to diets to relations between him, his cat and his friends (pobre Oso Polar)
this book is one of my all time favourites and even though i have reread it many times, excerpts i have memorized still make me laugh.
