A Memoir in Thirty Cats

An intimate memoir about the importance of community and care in a world that can feel impossibly broken—and a story about accidentally going viral while tending to a colony of feral cats. When Courtney Gustafson moved into a rental house in the Poets Square neighborhood of Tucson, Arizona, she didn’t know that the property came with thirty feral cats. Focused only on her own survival—in a new relationship, during a pandemic, with poor mental health and a job that didn’t pay enough—Courtney was reluctant to spend any of her own time or money caring for the wayward animals. But the cats—their pleading eyes, their ribs showing, the new kittens born in the driveway—didn’t give her a choice. She had no idea about the grief and hardship of animal rescue, the staggering size of the problem in neighborhoods across the country. And she couldn’t have imagined how that struggle—toward an ethics of care, of individuals trying their best amid spectacularly failing systems—would help pierce a personal darkness she’d wrestled with for much of her life. She also didn’t expect that the TikTok and Instagram accounts she created to share the quirky personalities of the wild but lovable cats, like Monkey, Goldie, Francois, and Sad Boy, would end up saving her home. Courtney writes toward a vision of connectedness, showing how taking care of the cats reshaped her understanding of empathy, resilience, and the healing power of wholly showing up for something outside yourself. She takes us from the dark alleys where she feeds feral cats to inside the tragically neglected homes where she climbs over piles of trash, and occasionally animals, and then into her own driveway with the cats she loves and must sometimes let go. Compelling and tender, Poets Square is as much about cats as it is about the urgency of care, community, and a little bit of dumb hope.

Life with the World's Most Melancholy Cat

Humorous and endearing,The Good, the Bad and the Furry is a heartwarming memoir about a man at the mercy of his unpredictable, demanding and endlessly lovable cats.

Meet The Bear--a cat who carries the weight of the world on his furry shoulders, and whose wise, owl-like eyes seem to ask, Can you tell me why I am a cat please? Like many intellectuals, The Bear would prefer a life of quiet solitude with plenty of time to gaze forlornly into space and contemplate society's ills. Unfortunately, he is destined to spend his days surrounded by felines of a significantly lower IQ.

There is Janet, a large man cat who often accidentally sets fire to his tail by walking too close to lighted candles; Ralph, a preening tabby who enjoys meowing his own name at 5AM; and Shipley, Ralph's brother, who steals soup but is generally relaxed once you pick him up and turn him upside down.

And then there's Tom Cox, writing with wit and charm about the unexpected adventures that go hand-in-hand with a life at the beck and call of four cats.

Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog

The heartwarming and unforgettable story of a family and the wondrously neurotic dog who taught them what really matters in life. Now with photos and new material.

Is it possible for humans to discover the key to happiness through a bigger-than-life, bad-boy dog? Just ask the Grogans.

John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be the same.

Marley grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound streamroller of a Labrador retriever. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, and stole women's undergarments. Obedience school did no good -- Marley was expelled.

But just as Marley joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley remained a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit's end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms.

Marley & Me is John Grogan's funny, unforgettable tribute to this wonderful, wildly neurotic Lab and the meaning he brought to their lives.

Surprising New Science to Help Your Canine Companion Live Younger, Healthier, and Longer

"A ground-breaking book to help dogs live healthier and longer lives. When Rodney Habib's dog, Sam, was diagnosed with cancer in 2013, it sent him on a mission to save her life. At the age of five, Sam was given only six months to live. Her plight inspired Rodney to travel the world, looking for innovative ways to arrest the progression of the disease. In his quest to save Sam, he met world-renowned veterinarian Karen Becker, a proactive pet health advocate with more than 20 years of experience. The two quickly realized they had the same goal: to improve the quality of life for dogs and pet parents everywhere. For the last three years, they've interviewed top geneticists, microbiologists, and researchers, collecting data related to their mission. What they discovered has the potential to change the pet world forever, just as it has changed the fate of Rodney's beloved Sam, who is now 11, and still very much a part of his life. They interviewed top geneticists, microbiologists, and people who have owned the oldest dogs in the world to find out what they did--or didn't do--to enable their dogs to live into their 20s and, in some cases, even into their 30s. What they discovered has the potential to change the pet world forever. Backed by cutting-edge research, The Forever Dog explores the key factors that can help improve your dog's health lengthen your dog's lifespan including the truth about the food that you're probably feeding your pet and then explain what the commercial manufacturers don't want you to know: that is, what that food is actually doing to your pet's health. We'll offer practical solutions and tips on how to better provide your dog the nutrients he needs--safely. In Lifestyle, we'll explore how external factors such as exercise, environmental toxins, the stress in your own life and the choices your veterinarian leads you to make can greatly affect your pet's overall health and wellbeing so you can raise a Forever Dog."--

Betty Kowalski isn't looking forward to the holidays. She just can't seem to find Christmas in her heart. There's church, of course. But who can she bake for these days? And who would care whether or not she pulled out the Christmas decorations? Her new neighbor just adds to the problem. He's doing home improvements that don't appear to be improving much of anything. These days when Betty looks out the window, she sees a beat-up truck, a pile of junk, lots of blue tarps, and--horror of horrors--an old pink toilet. But when a mangy dog appears at her doorstep, the stage is set for Betty to learn a very important lesson about what Christmas is all about. This contemporary Christmas story is a timely yet gentle reminder that God can work miracles through something as seemingly insignificant as a little brown dog.

What Dogs Can Teach Us about Living Well

An esteemed veterinary oncologist battles her own cancer diagnosis while fighting to save her four-legged patients diagnosed with the same disease in this moving and uplifting memoir. For more than two decades, esteemed veterinary oncologist Dr. Renee Alsarraf treated cancer in canine patients. Then at fifty-one she received a cancer diagnosis of her own. Suddenly, the disease she had been fighting her entire career threatened her own life. But Renee wasn't alone--she had her dogs to show her the way. In this stunningly beautiful memoir, Renee shows us why canines are the perfect guides to help us navigate traumatic and difficult experiences. Dogs, she reveals, are unbelievably hopeful, wonderfully stoic, and unwaveringly cheerful even under treatment that would make most of us humans nauseous, angry, and sad. These wonderful animals are terrific reminders of the power of the human spirit, and what is available within ourselves. Each chapter of Sit, Stay, Heal opens with the story of a remarkable dog. We meet Cosmo, the golden retriever, diagnosed with cancer just before his fourteenth family vacation to the beach; Daisy the cocker spaniel, an emotional support dog diagnosed during a difficult time for her owners; Franny the bloodhound, a police dog who wasn't ready to retire from the force; and Dr. Renee's own boxer, Newton, whose lymph nodes begin to expand at only five years old. Full of life lessons and healing metaphors, perfect dogs and their imperfect humans, Sit, Stay, Heal is a captivating story of illness and survival, and a moving celebration of all that dogs have to teach us about life and how to live.
