Ronald Reagan's daughter Patti Davis documents a life with cats in quirky style. Cat books are perennial bestsellers. This title is great for Mothers Day. Patti Davis has written a delightful illustrated memoir. Just 96 pages long, the book has 12 chapters, each of which fits on a single spread and is accompanied by a charming illustration. The chapters detail the lives of her two cats, Aretha and Skeeter. A self-proclaimed dog person, Davis was surprised one day to be adopted by the cat next door - a cat that was apparently dissatisfied with her current humans, and decided someone else would do a better job of catering to her needs. And so began an incredibly unique relationship between a woman who couldn't seem to let go of her "dogperson-ness" and a cat named Aretha who refused to believe her. After a romance that ended sadly(for Aretha, not Patti), Patti decided to go get another cat - "a kitten, so Aretha could retain her position as the resident diva." Enter Skeeter, mischievous, irrepressible, and ever so lovable. Twenty-six illustrations by celebrated artist Ward Schumaker give the book a whimsical, celebratory feel.
