"Where's little brother?"
"He's gone, Jonesy."
Jones (or "Jonesy") and Chaplin are two cats who form a perfect little household with their human. When Chaplin leaves this world unexpectedly, their home becomes a bit quieter, a bit emptier, and more than a bit sadder. Through the course of a year the human navigates their loss, and he discovers that the road to understanding grief is led by the wisdom of one sarcastic, loving and outstandingly wonderful little cat.
"And I've Got You" is story about cat treats, unexpected love, devastating loss and a bottomless well of grief, told through a dialogue between Jonesy and his human in the course of twelve months in their lives. In this book Jonesy and his human explore the more pertinent questions in life, such as:
•What makes a family?
•What does a cat do all day?
•How do you survive the loss of your loved ones?
•Would a cat and his human make it through a zombie plague together?
•Most importantly, what to do when you run out of cat treats? (Just don't.)
"And I've Got You: Conversations With My Cat" chronicles a year in the lives of a man and his cat, and a look at the curious ways we navigate loss through the funny, mysterious and unbreakable bond between animals and their human companions.
