Seven Cats I Have Loved

Anat Levit never considered herself a cat lover, but when her life was thrown into upheaval, she found herself adopting one cat at the suggestion of her daughters, and then six more in quick succession. In this memoir, she recounts how each cat came into her life, their distinct demeanors and curiosities, and their ability to live fully in each moment.

As Anat falls in love with her pets, their escapades and tribulations lead her into deep friendships, difficult decisions, and unexpected insights into her connections with former lovers, her daughters and her own health. The cats love her in the way she wishes she could love others: intensely yet independently, without renouncing their unique personalities. In Seven cats I Have Loved, Anat delves into the feline mind with sensitivity, gentleness and compassion, while also revealing a moving human story.
