Message: I rescued a 6 month old kitten. She was sweet and gentle and a true lap cat but when any of my grandchildren came to visit she took off. When my youngest daughter had a son who was diagnosed PDD on the autism spectrum Jessie had a change of heart. She allowed this little boy to hold her lie next to her and I have the cutest picture of them nose to nose on the couch. I believe that my sweet Jessie knew that Nick needed her. I loved your book!

Message: Dear Dr. Dosa,
I enjoyed your book, Making Rounds with
Oscar. Just the picture of Oscar on the cover made me want to read it. I enjoy
reading anything about a cat. I, myself,
have had 3 special cats so far. Each one has had its unique personality, and I believe the Lord created them to give us love and companionship unconditionally (as Oscar did). There's a scripture in the Bible
Job l2:7 - Ask the animals, and they will teach you. We can learn so much from animals. Thank you for writing the book. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotton Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Message: I checked this book out at my local library simply because I have a cat named Oscar and I thought it cute. I believe I was born a cat lover since I've always had at least 1 throughout my whole life. Thank you for writing about Oscar and what he is doing. People should realize that animals have certain intuitions and we should pay them more attention.

Message: I'm still wondering if anyone knows what the heredity factor is for children of both parents with Alzheimer's. Especially if one of the children has Parkinson's Disease.

Chicken Soup for Cats has a story in it about a woman who took her cat that would snuggle up with the patients
to nursing homes and hospice.

Message: Dear Dr. Dosa, Thank you for writing the book which was a gift to me when my mother died at 93 in Rhode Island. Although she did not have Alzheimer's she did have a stroke, many illnesses, and some old-age dementia. She lived in a retirement home; many of the comments you make in the book simply about aging, disease, and family members resonated and were comforting to me as I've tried to process her death. In addition, we are a cat family, currently with two, and we are lucky to have had several extraordinary cats over the years. Thank you for paying a wonderful tribute to Oscar who is clearly among the very,very special of animals.
