Okay, I didn't heed the posts that said they weren't reading Chapter 7. I, above all, after my 16 year old Maine Coon passed from cancer in 2016, should have skipped that chapter. I didn't and now I've relived those terrible times. Thankfully, back then, my vet knew me well enough to insist I get two rescue cats to ease the pain. She saw that I got them (2 little girl kittens) earlier than what was considered normal and Io and Iris and I bonded  immediately. When my vet saw how they treated me she said there was only one explanation - they love you and look on you as one big cat. The two little girls (now 2 years old and just as loving as when we first met) pulled me into the inner life of cats. Thanks to them I've experienced the complete love of a cat. All the more reason I should have just skipped Chapter 7. It reduced me to tears but Io, my orange tabby, immediately sensed my sorrow and was in my lap giving me head butts.

One chapter to go and I'll write a review. Nothing on Chapter 7 though
