100% would die for this cat

I thought this book would be too cheesy and saccharine, but it ended up being really quite sweet and comforting.

A newfound "cat" person, this was a light and enjoyable tale about a stray cat who makes his home in a small town library.

Loved loved loved this book. Especially for cat lovers. Grab a tissue if you are sensitive because you will definitely need it.

Really simple, sweet mostly bio of a library cat. You've got to be in the mood for this one, it polarises people but I thought it was endearing.

When you read animal stories, you know two things are going to happen: 1. The author will wax poetic about the animal and explain why he or she was so much more than just a cat/dog/whatever. 2. The animal will die. Even when you know it's going to happen, and approximately where in the story, it still makes you want to drop everything and go hug your cats. *sniffle*

I spent four years in northeastern Iowa (1993-1997), so reading this was kind of like going back to visit. The plucky small-town midwestern thing, the solid, red-blooded, Iowa farm stock, and the obligatory Field of Dreams reference. I'm also a hopeless romantic for cats and feel that every cat is so much more than "just a cat". So, this book hit all the right notes on those two counts. It also reminded me of why I no longer live in the midwest (small towns are a bit TOO small).

This was a fun little diversion - a nostalgic look back at Spencer, Iowa's most famous resident.

A sweet story about an abandoned kitten who became a well-loved fixture of a library in small town Iowa.

I loved this book so much. It made my cat loving heart so happy and so sad.

Very sweet and heartwarming. It’s pretty hard to dislike a book that is about a cat and a library!

very touching story of a cat, reminds me of the cat at the hospital that can sense when someone is going to die and gives comfort and snuggles them until they pass. but not as morbid. story is of the cat AND the life of a midwestern woman.
