A Cat's Life: Dulcy's Story
by Dee Ready
Description
A Cat’s Life: Dulcy’s Story is the powerful and perceptive story of the life of a beloved cat—told from the cat’s point of view. During their years together, Dulcy and her human learn to communicate on a level deeper than language and to comfort one another with affectionate routines that deepen their bond until they become one in their love. Their song of acceptance and bravery will pierce the heart of anyone who has ever felt close to an animal.
The 25th Anniversary Edition of A Cat’s Life: Dulcy’s Story contains not only the original story, as given by Dulcy to her human, but also a Reflection by her human—Dee Ready.
In the Reflection, Dee explains the wondrous way Dulcy gave her the book and the long and arduous path to its publication. A Cat’s Life is Book #1 in the Dulcy Series. Book #2, written both by Dulcy and her human, is entitled A Cat’s Legacy: Dulcy’s Companion Book.

Emily's note:
The first time that I knew A Cat's Life was from Japanese edition. It was translate by the famous Japanese authors Ekuni Kaori in 2000 and was the bestseller in Japan.
A Cat's Life was written through the point of view of Dulcy. Through Dulcy's eyes, I could feel how deep she loved Dee Ready. I was in tears who I closed the book.
And then it was published in Taiwan in 2004. The name of Chinese title is My Dear Cat, Please Don't Cry （貓咪不要哭）.
I like this title a lot!
It became the long seller both in Japan and Taiwan until now.
A Cat's Life is a classic treasure for all cat lovers.
