Message: I am currently reading the book and I have to say that it is such a touching book. I was currently a caregiver for my Grandpa, whom passed away from on August 3, 2010. I took care of him, in my home, for 2 years. He was diagnosed with Dementia. I seen him through this difficult disease and I watched his daily living skills decline. In the end I had to do everything for him. If given the opportunity I would do it again for him in a heartbeat. In fact, in honor of him and everyone that is affected by this debilitating illness I am participating in the Memory Walk 2010 for the Alzheimer's Association. Thank you Dr. Dosa for writing and sharing this wonderful story!

Message: Just finished the book today. I enjoyed it immensely. We had a similar little angel helping us while my mother was dying of lung cancer. Our angel cat was Whiskers. Like Oscar he had a reputation of coming in for the final hours or minutes of life. Like Oscar Whiskers would occasionally drop in just to check on things and say "HI". We had heard the stories of Whiskers coming in to escort the spirit home. And so he did. At the nursing home they said if Whiskers comes and sits under the bed it was not a real encouraging sign. The evening before my mothers passing Whiskers started his vigil of checking in every so often. My mother loved him and so did I. About 15 minutes before her passing Whiskers came to stay. He was at the foot of the bed. As her breaths started to slow rapidly Whiskers came to the upper half of the bed. At four breaths a minute he walked acrossed her mid-ssection to me for a pet and then turned and walked back acrossed her solar plexus for a pet from my sister who was sitting opposite me on the other side of the bed. My mother took one more breath and was gone. It seemed to us that Whiskers gave us his condolences and her the permission to leave. A scene forever etched in my mind. Since then Whiskers has been removed from the home because of new management. What a loss!

Message: I have just finished reading your book and would like to say thank you. My father passed away from Alzheimer's on 31st March 2010. He was a beautiful, kind and gentle soul and even though we had said good bye long before his passing, his death was still devastating for the whole family. Even though I live in Australia, there were so many of your stories I could relate to and I only wish that we had an Oscar to help us through the last distressing hours. Again thanks for writing this book and letting the world know about how wonderful cats can be.

Message: This is one of the nicest books I have read in along time. Being 65 yrs old it really made me think about life, present and furture. Thank you for writing it.
