Description:
The Kordas are confirmed "cat people": Margaret is a lifelong devotee and Michael is an initially reluctant but ultimately fervent midlife convert. With characteristic wit, self-effacing charm, and the sheer, exuberant love of a good cat story, they celebrate the beguiling power of our furry masters. Cat People paints indelible portraits of some of the unforgettable felines who have complemented, complicated, and changed their lives over the years and introduces readers to a hilarious assortment of people whose worlds revolve, often to an extraordinary degree, around their cats.
