Cat Fancy Review

The following review appears in the September '99 issue of Cat Fancy. Title. Love Is All You Need. Text. A gentle nudge and melodic purr are your cat's ways of showing how to love and be loved. Honey-Bun celebrates this endearing relationship. Wavering between intense grief and extraordinary joy, Anne Stockton shares her pain of losing a beloved cat and the loss' ability to cause a rebirth in your life and attitude. Many cats graced Stockton's life, but this memoir portrays a special relationship with an animal that touched her soul. Reviewed by: Catherine Gallagher, Cat Fancy Magazine
