"Dealing with a dog, to put it crudely, is like dealing with a person who"s a bit dumb. Dealing with a cat is like dealing with a person who"s more than a bit crazy." When a stray kitten romps into Lynne"s life, she has no idea what she"s getting into. As Lynne describes in letters to her friend Angie, Skeeter is all cat -- high-spirited, contrary, and inventive. He"s so goofy that he reminds Lynne of her own nuttiest escapades; so irrepressible that even Lynne"s neighbor, Mark, gets wound around his paw. And when Angie visits to see Skeeter for herself . . . . Well, no one who meets Skeeter will ever be quite the same again. ///////////////////////////////////////////////// ABOUT THE AUTHOR Anne L.
