About this title

Book Description:

The heart-warming and often hilarious story of Polar Bear, an abandoned white cat - and the man he owned.

From the Back Cover:

If you have ever owned a cat yourself, or, as they say, been owned by one, you will recognize and delight in this heartwarming bestseller.

Cleveland Amory was an unsentimental, middle-aged journalist who preferred dogs. But then, one snowy Christmas Eve, he found himself in a deserted New York alley trying to rescue a starving, hurt and not-too-friendly white cat. And of course, he had no idea that this encounter would change his life forever.

Beautifully written, poignant and often hilarious, The Cat Who Came For Christmas is the true story of how Cleveland and the cat developed an unlikely 'alliance' and how, before too long, the uncompromising, single-minded stray not only called all the shots in their relationship, but captured his 'owner's' heart in the most touching ways.
