From inside the dust jacket the publisher writes: “HUMOR/PETS Picking up where those phenomenal best-sellers, The Cat Who Came for Christmas and The Cat and the Curmudgeon left off, The Best Cat Ever is, in one sense, the third and final volume of a trilogy, one which entails the trials and tribulations of the sublime Polar Bear versus his crafty owner, rather ownee, the redoubtable author Cleveland Amory. The Best Cat Ever is the most humorous of all Amory’s cat books, and it is also the most touching—a loving look back at the aforesaid trials and tribulations, all of which end in a kind of triumphal truce. The chapter titles show the range of the book: in ‘A Cat for All Seasons,’ when Amory is taken ill, Polar Bear takes on the job, against a phalanx of hospital nurses, of both watch cat and guard cat… In ‘My Harvard,’ Polar Bear faithfully attends a class reunion at Amory’s alma mater and becomes privy to such dark secrets as how Amory and his roommate first conducted a successful search for the all-time easiest course ever offered in Harvard’s catalogue and then brazenly enrolled in same… In ‘My Last Duchess and 4,000 Other Celebrities,’ when Amory undertakes the autobiography of her late highness, Polar Bear arrives on the scene too late to warn of the impending disaster but nonetheless ensures that no such untoward goings-on would be countenanced under his reign… In ‘Polar Bear and Me and Your TV—Your Guide to the Medium Medium,’ Polar Bear, like so many of his kind a world-class critic himself, takes a critical look at Amoru’s tenuous tenure as chief critic of TV Guide… And finally, in ‘The Miracles of Modern Medicine—and Some Objections to Same,’ Polar Bear and Amory are afflicted with an age-old illness of man and cat—something which is most in need of, if not a modern miracle, at least a good old-fashioned one. All in all, The Best Cat Ever is Amory’s best book ever—the witty and wise conclusion to a wonderful love story. Humorist and humanitarian Cleveland Amory began his writing career with a trilogy of best-selling social histories: The Proper Bostonians, The Last Resorts, and Who Killed Society? In recent years, he has also produced a best-selling trilogy of unique cat books: The Cat Who Came for Christmas, The Cat and the Curmudgeon, and now, finally, The Best Cat Ever. As a humanitarian, Amory is perhaps the country’s foremost animal defender, being president of not one but two major animal societies, the New England Anti-Vivisection Society, founded in 1895, and the powerful Fund for Animals which he started in 1967, and from whose headquarters, at 200 West 57th Street, New York, he still directs its operations.” The Best Cat Ever is a humorous and touching read for the “cat lovers” and maybe other readers too.
