On temporary assignment in Houston, Texas, at the start of 1998,
Aleksandra and her husband, Norman, never expected that their lives
would be changed forever when a small, chocolate-gold-black, stray cat
stalked into the apartment complex where they were living and adopted
them. Suzy soon became a key family member and travels extensively with
the author. In a life full of animals, Suzy's owners have had to
confront many of the dilemmas that cat ownership entails. This is the
story of a deepening relationship between a couple and their cat,
written by an award-winning author and filled with insightful comments
about cat behavior and the nature of the human-feline bond. The episodes
in this book will delight and inform other "cat people" and will leave
readers with a new understanding of the way interactions with animals
transform our lives.
