| Summary |
Journalist Tarte (Enslaved by Ducks) and his wife, Linda, already live with a menagerie of cats, rabbits, and birds. When new cat Frannie--a "wild child from the woods,"arrives, things are taken to a "whole new level of catdom." Loosely arranged according to the chronology of Frannie's entry into the family, the chapters in this loving but tedious book are essentially a series of vignettes about several of the household's most prominent animals: Moobie, a sweet, aging cat who has a cancer scare; Lucy, a cat so grumpy that she "was a strong argument against ever taking in another living creature"; a group of unpleasant chickens; and an affectionate duck named Victor. The narrator is chatty and affable, up early in the morning to chop fruit for the birds, attentively holding one cat's water bowl "like a sommelier with a dish for her to sample." |
