Synopsis
Kitty Cornered is raucous and witty and as heartwarming as a basket of kittens. I'm a bone-i-fied dog lover, but this book settles it: I'm getting a cat, or six." --Dan Dye, author of Amazing Gracie Bob Tarte had his first encounter with a cat when he was two and a half years old. He should have learned his lesson then, from Fluffy. But as he says, "I listened to my heart instead, and that always leads to trouble." In this tell-all of how the Tarte household grew from one recalcitrant cat to six--including a hard-to-manage stray named Frannie--Tarte confesses to allowing these interlopers to shape his and his wife's life, from their dining habits to their sleeping arrangements to the placement and furriness of their furniture. But more than that, Bob begins seeing Frannie and the other cats as unlikely instructors in the art of achieving contentment, even in the face of illness and injury. Bewitched by the unknowable nature of domesticated cats, he realizes that sometimes wildness and mystery are exactly what he needs. With the winning humor and uncanny ability to capture the soul of the animal world that made Enslaved by Ducks a success, Tarte shows us that life with animals gives us a way out of our narrow human perspective to glimpse something larger, more enduring, and more grounded in the simplicities of love--and catnip., Bob Tarte had his first encounter with a cat when he was two and a half years old.

  • Kitty Cornered is the funniest book yet from Bob Tarte

    Kitty Cornered is the funniest book yet from Bob Tarte, author of literary hits Enslaved by Ducks and Fowl Weather. I started bookmarking the pages containing the funniest parts, and now my book appears to have some sort of Carnivale headdress. You don’t have to have a pet cat to enjoy this book; you don’t even have to LIKE cats to enjoy this book. I imagine Mr. Tarte could write about hissing cockroaches and the result would be a laugh-out-loud volume of cockroach humor. This time around, Bob shares with us the unfolding events associated with growing his household from one cat to six, including the somewhat challenging former stray known as Frannie. In the process of achieving complete domination over Bob, his wife Linda and their household furniture, the cats provide them with ...

  • Good humour, good laughs, good times.

    Bob Tarte has such a wonderful sense of humour. If you are a cat lover, you should really treat yourself to reading all of his books. He brings his whole menagerie, and believe me, this household is a plethora of beasts, into a laughable, loving household of mishap and mayhem.
