\nBook Summary:
\nCaleb Carr has had special relationships with cats since he was a young boy in a turbule nt household\, famously peopled by the founding members of the Beat Genera tion\, where his steadiest companions were the adopted cats that lived wit h him both in the city and the country. As an adult\, he has had many clos e feline companions\, with relationships that have outlasted most of his h uman ones. But only after building a three-story home in rural\, upstate N ew York did he enter into the most extraordinary of all of his cat pairing s: Masha\, a Siberian Forest cat who had been abandoned as a kitten\, and was languishing in a shelter when Caleb met her. She had hissed and fought off all previous carers and potential adopters\, but somehow\, she chose Caleb as her savior.
\nFor the seventeen years that followed\, Caleb and Masha were inseparable. Masha ruled the house and the extensive\, dan gerous surrounding fields and forests. When she was hurt\, only Caleb coul d help her. When he suffered long-standing physical ailments\, Masha knew what to do. Caleb's life-long study of the literature of cat behavior\, an d his years of experience with previous cats\, helped him decode much of M asha's inner life. But their bond went far beyond academic studies and exp erience. The story of Caleb and Masha is an inspiring and life-affirming r elationship for readers of all backgrounds and interests--a love story lik e no other.
