Vic Reskovic

4.5 stars

Though they liked animals, Vic and his wife, Cindy, had never owned a pet and didn’t want one, but when this pretty little kitty wandered into the yard, but she didn’t belong to any of the neighbours, she just made herself comfortable in their lives and stayed for 19 years!

Ok, this doesn’t really deserve such a high rating, but part of it is an emotional rating from me. It’s a simple story, large font, short chapters, short book. Much of the book focused on when they first found Squeeky and when she got old, but, it was humourous and what a sweet kitty! When she got old, she developed two health issues that my previous boy developed (though he didn’t make it to 20ish years old!). Miss Squeeky was also very chatty, as is my newest cat. Enjoyable book, but of course, heartbreaking at the end.… (plus d'informations)

A Cat Named Squeeky by Vic Reskovic is a memoir of a stray cat who befriended the author and decided to make her home there. Because of her unusual vocalizations he named her Squeeky.

Reskovic explains early on that he and his wife had never had a pet. They weren't looking to get a cat. But they quickly learned that cats often pick their homes and their people.

The book reminded me of Dewey by Vicki Myron. This is another memoir of the life of a cat with all the details of someone unfamiliar with cats learning how to live with a cat. Like Dewey, Squeeky had a long life, even if it did start out as a stray.

Although A Cat Named Squeeky sat on my wishlist for nearly two years, I happened to read it after a stray kitten charmed her way into my life. So I read it while making mental comparisons to my own experiences with Tortuga kitten.

I recommend the book to cat people.… (plus d'informations)
