A wish list tag. Enjoy.

Received today. Looks great! Thanks so much for sharing this one.

Quick and easy read. The physician who wrote the book admitted that he was not a cat person, and it showed. The book was also lighter on actual content about Oscar than I was expecting. There was quite a bit of information on dementia and Alzheimer's disease, the lives of the author's patients and their families, etc. It was all interesting -- just not completely what I had anticipated.

The book also raised some very important questions about end-of-life care and what is best for patients in terms of treatments and interventions (or lack thereof). I'm glad I read it.

Headed off to Firegirl to fulfill a wish. Enjoy!

Thank you for sharing! I've heard a great lot about this book and am looking forward to reading it. I think I have some coworkers who will be interested when I'm done as well. Watch this space!


I have to edit this to add my quick review because the book was caught at the BC-in-DC meetup. I enjoyed this, though I wish there had been more about Oscar. I feel the title is misleading. The book mostly is about what the author learns about death and dying. That, in itself, is good and interesting, I just think the book deserves another title that better describes it. Those in the medical field would benefit from reading it for the insight, but a book seemingly about a cat wouldn't lead most to it.

Firegirl brought a couple copies of this book to meet-up today and spoke warmly of it. I remember enjoying it when I read it. I decided to take these books for wild release at Crumbs and Whiskers cat cafe today while celebrating Melydia's 40th birthday.

This book was released as part of our visit for Melydia's birthday.
