5.0 out of 5 stars The most beautiful book I have read in years!, August 4, 2003

This review is from: Buffy My Love: A Remembrance in Words and Photographs (Hardcover)

The pictures alone are stunning but the story of the love between a cat and a human, be it man, woman, or child, is what makes this book such a treasure. Only those who have ever loved an animal and had such a bond as this will understand and relate to Philip's relationship with Buffy. Anyone who has ever loved and been loved by a cat should read this book. A beautiful cat, a beautiful human being, and a beautiful book.

This wonderful book was a gift to me from a friend who lost her dear cat Buster to cancer two days before I lost my Jolie cat to cancer. You don't think anyone else could or would understand your love for your pet or your grief at the loss of your pet. This book with its beautiful photographs and charming story let me see other people do love their pets as I do. It is a book I have shared with my 94 year old neighbor to my 13 year old niece and everyone has loved it. This is a book your must own if you are a cat or a pet lover.
