I was curious about this book because I too was a woman who just didn't care for cats. At least I THOUGHT so. Then one came to stay at my house when my daughter couldn't have a pet at her apartment, and we were soon joined by another when my son begged for one. The two cats have been so entertaining and my level of tolerance and love has grown. I'm now a "cat lady!" I think we may even get more cats. That aside, Patti's book was written in a friendly and easy way... very enjoyable to read.

This is the sweetest book. She describes her cats with such love and tenderness,
There are beautiful illustrations in the book also.
The two spayed females Aretha and Skeeter have lots of friends that drop in from time to time also.
Patti neuters them also and eventually finds a home for one of the Romeo's.
This is a cute, easy book to read and a delight for anyone that is a cat lover.

"Two Cats and the Woman They Own: or Lessons I learned from My Cats", by Patti Davis. Chronicle Books, CA, 2005 ISBN: 0-8118-5166-4. HC 96 pgs. 7 ¼" x 5 ¼".

Respected author of 6 books and daughter of former president Ronald Reagan, this book is wonderfully illustrated by Ward Shumaker, renowned illustrator


A captivating glimpse of a true cat lover's experience in parenting and/or adopting a family of felines including Aretha, Spider, Skeeter, Lucas and Scoundrel - at times less than successfully.

A tender look at felines, sometimes askance or sideways for those with Asperger's or High-functioning autism, with learned musings on feline idiosyncrasies and a tabulation of 12 "Life Lessons" displayed by these little tigers whose language is decipherable to the possessed.

Patty Davis has written a delightful, uplifting little book which acurately describes interacting on a daily basis with adopted and stray cats. I bought three copies for gifts!

I loved this book...I keep it on my coffee table...it is a treasure. I could relate to every chapter and anyone who is a cat lover/owner...will love this book. I recommend very highly.
