About the Book

Cat Tales is a collection of stories that will take you on a journey of your heart and mind.

You’ll read about Pat who is convinced that a kitten saved her life when she had all but given up her battle with cancer. Then there’s Christine who discovered that a cat named Sydney turned out to be her best friend when she needed friendship the most. Rena´s most unusual request for Dr. Eisen left everyone reevaluating the importance of feline companionship. When Tiffany needed help from the other side of the Atlantic, it was her human cousin in the United States that helped save her life. Then there’s Tivo, the shy cat, who forged a bond that taught Greg and his family to accept and embrace a common disability that affects many children and adults today. You’ll spend time with Cindy who knows that even the most forgotten felines can become the most loveable and cherished cats of all.

Some stories will make you purr, some will make you mew and all will make you tenderly remember those unforgettable felines in your own life; those cats that left indelible paw prints in your heart forever.

About the Author

About the Authors Dr. Sharon Eisen has been a practicing veterinarian since 1984. In 1991 she realized her dream of opening a feline-only practice in Brookfield, Connecticut. The Complete Cat Clinic was the very first cats-only hospital in the state. While owning and operating the clinic, Dr. Eisen has also been breeding cats for the past 15 years. Some of her cats have appeared on television and have been top-ranking show cats with many ribbons to their credit; and others have simply been beautiful and treasured companions. In addition to devoting her career to the care and wellbeing of cats, Dr. Eisen has an abiding interest in the human/animal connection. She has conducted programs in elementary schools to teach students about pet care. She has led pet bereavement groups and she has brought cats and dogs into nursing homes to serve as pet therapists. For many years, Dr. Eisen has wanted to share these wonderful and compelling stories. The time has finally come. Dr. Eisen lives in Danbury, Connecticut with her husband and four cats: Paco, Hershey, Paulie Newman, and Rosie.

In addition to becoming well-known as an on-air personality, she did commercial copywriting, voice-overs and radio production at numerous New York area radio stations, including WHUD 100.7 FM.
