Cats can bring out latent talents in humans, and they do so with remarkable success for Joyce FitzGerald Galloway, as told in THE CATS WHO LOVE(D) ME AND THE ONE WHO DOESN'T. It all begins one stormy night when the author retrieves a drenched and frightened tiger kitten from a gutter near her home in Ireland. Penny is to lead the parade of these cats, cats with colorful beauty and remarkable individuality, as they are endowned with special gifts, all but one giving her affection. For instance, there's Spot, the watch-cat who thwarts a burglary, and Bunny, a cross between a rabbit and a clown. Here is a book that has cats cavorting through its pages, each brought to life by the author's descriptive powers that illuminate the surroundings. These cats that tapped the author's ability to nurture also tap the reader's wonder in this entertaining and amusing book. "This book is bound to create more feline fanatics. It takes the reader behind the cat's clever intelligence, its devilish tricks, and its emotional attachment. It virtually guarantees homes for many a deserted kitten." - Walter Cronkite JOYCE FITZGERALD GALLOWAY, formerly of Staten Island, New York, Cork City. Ireland, and Hough's Neck, Massachusetts, now lives in Massachusetts where she is retired from her position as a staffing coordinator at a health care facility. The author has also been employed as an executive assistant at a Boston bank. An anthologized poet, with a love of travel and cooking for large groups, she shares her interests with her husband, Dicey, an award-winning singer with the 1950s Doo Wop group The Harptones. Currently, the author is doing work with trapping and caring for feral cats and presently has six of them in her home. It is still her dream to live in New York again someday.
