Born and raised in a dog-loving family, Cooper never considered herself a cat-person until a five-week-old rescue kitten came into her life. Eventually, one rescue kitten became five, and all the ups and downs of a life with felines are beautifully depicted in the collection. Cooper\u2019s prose is charmingly witty, as she draws quirky personality sketches of her much-beloved felines. Her profound love for her cats is obvious to readers as she shares the happiness and sorrows of sharing her life with her fur family. Fans of Cooper\u2019s earlier work (Homer&#8217;s Odyssey) will be delighted to see Homer, the blind wonder cat, returns in this book. Funny, entertaining, and poignant, the book provides insights on the intelligence of cats and their capacity for giving and receiving (mostly) affection. Cats lovers will be rewarded.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>My Life in the Cat House<\/h2>\n<h2>True Tales of Love, Laughter, and Living with Five Felines<\/h2>\n<h3>by Gwen Cooper<\/h3>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/My-Life-Cat-House-Laughter\/dp\/1948836602\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buy now <\/a><\/h4>\n<h4>BenBella Books<\/h4>\n<h4>Pub date November 5, 2019<\/h4>\n<h4>ISBN 9781948836609<\/h4>\n<h4>Price $16.00 (USD)<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Delightfully funny and moving\u2026 Cooper returns with the ongoing adventures of her much-beloved feline family in this delightful collection of eight stories.
