"As a 'veteran veterinarian' with more than 30 years in practice, I found myself nodding in recognition throughout Ingrid King's heartwarming book. Take a look behind the scenes at my beloved profession, and the people and pets who make veterinary medicine a rewarding adventure. You won't regret it, I promise." - Dr. Marty Becker, "America's Veterinarian" and veterinary contributor to The Dr. Oz Show
"Ingrid King offers a unique glimpse beyond the waiting-room door into the inner workings of a veterinary hospital. This collection of essays-each spotlighting a special animal friend from her past-shares smiles and poignant lessons learned from her years working in the profession. From the emergency vet care "dance" to respectfully performed "poop-duty," this purr-fectly charming book will make you appreciate your pets' clinic caretakers even more. Highly recommended!" - Amy Shojai, award winning author of 26 pet care and behavior books
Review
Ingrid King defines what it is to be a "cat person." She doesn't just live with them, observe and write about them; rather, she delves deeper, reflecting a natural sense of empathy and kinship with cats. There is an intrinsic bond with the feline world on display in casual conversation with Ingrid, as well as in her writing. Ingrid brings us closer to understanding the everyday reality of cats and, finally, what we can learn about our own lives through better appreciating theirs.
