A
story for cat lovers and tragedy vultures of all ages, the Felix
and Mitch saga begins with a wastrel gray kitten charming his
way into the lives of an unsuspecting couple who never expected
any kind of involvement with cats. This wonderful experience,
with just one cat, leads on to an experiment that will captivate
the hearts of animal lovers anywhere. The characters, many of
them fun loving felines, are as real as people. They are heartwarming,
lovable and memorable. Then the big storm, brings the survival
adventure of an island and its people in great peril without
knowing how close they will come to the brink of Armageddon.
And then the horrific truths found on the mainland, great loss
of life, communities erased from the face of the earth, and
nothing left alive. It is a story about love, different kinds
of love, and of great sorrow, the sorrows of a people already
destitute, left ravaged and even more impoverished by a savage
natural disaster!
EXCERPT:
"By the time we had the auto packed and were ready for
the cats, the storm had taken on the character of an apocalyptic
menace. I was racing between the house and the auto nearly blinded
by the driving rain, across terrain barely visible in the light
of my electric torch. I was disoriented at times because of
the unfamiliar conditions, the winds distorting all that was
once a friendly landscape. Stumbling blindly, house to car,
carrying terrified kittens and a crying Buddy, who did not want
to leave his home. If any of them managed to run out into this
terrible night I was sure we would never see them again."
