About this title

From the Back Cover

"I have received 'On The Road With Suzy' yesterday and read it in one sitting with great pleasure. I am sure that all animal lovers will find it truly wonderful, and all thinking people, even if they hate cats, will find it a profound, sensitive, insightful and funny book. Dr. Aleksandra's understanding of cats, and animals in general, goes beyond our common need for the unconditional love we receive from our pets. It reaches into our deepest feelings and spiritual needs in line with the Taoist and Buddhist philosophy of wisdom and compassion: that the belief in an absolute unity transcends all divergences, and all life is seen to be but forms of the Primal One." - Audrey Ronning Topping, acclaimed author of six books and a prize-winning photojournalist.
