Author Callie Smith Grant has brought many of those wonderful true stories together in a delightful collection called THE CAT IN THE WINDOW AND OTHER STORIES OF THE CATS WE LOVE. The collection is comprised of 28 tales of various cat adventures, as well as how the cats and their human caretakers came together.

These enchanting stories will warm your spirit, tug on your heart strings, bring a tear to your eye and definitely cause you to smile. The stories tell of unconditional love and understanding, compassion and caring. While reading this captivating book, you may find a cat or two that reminds you of your own or ones belonging to family and friends.
