Is A Cat Just A Cat?

By: Raven E. Black

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Is a cat just a cat? From the author of The Reluctant Tarot Reader and The Last Painting comes the story of the unbreakable bond of a woman and her cats.

Long before Raven accepts her intuitive gifts, she races around America with a broken heart and an empty wallet after being rejected by the church, her sort-of girlfriend and climbing onto the wild ride of what it means to be a lesbian. When she lands in Colorado for a short-lived attempt at grad school, she discovers what's missing: a cat.

When she visits the local shelter, a tiny orange and white kitten she names Avery grabs her finger and from that moment, they forge a friendship that lasts over 20 years and carries her through numerous breakups, the death of her mother and the ever-present question, "When are you finally going to settle down?" Avery and Zoey - a tough Brooklyn street cat who joins them four years into the journey - do their best to keep Raven tethered to earth as they travel cross-country in the quest for a little peace, love and a good home.

To some, a cat is just a cat. To this crazy cat lady, her two companions are part of the great evolution and healing of her soul. And when the time comes to say goodbye to Avery, Raven faces the true test of love: letting go.
