#967B: Rebecca Van Laer's memoir “Cat” is a slim little book that speaks volumes about the life the author spent as a child feeling closer to cats than to humans and explores how her relationships with her cats have been the through line in her life. She also shares her opinion that referring to a kitty as your “baby” does a disservice both to cats and human children.
