Dewey's Nine Lives

Author(s): Vicki Myron

Biography & Memoir

The world’s best-loved library cat returns in a heartwarming collection inspired by true tales of cats and the people whose lives they enriched. Millions of people around the world were uplifted, touched and heartbroken at the story of Dewey, who as a young kitten, was found one morning by Vicki Myron in the drop-box of the library where she worked, and who went on to become the library cat and change her life and the lives of many people in the small town of Spencer, Iowa. S ince Dewey was published Vicki realized thousands of people wrote saying Dewey reminded them of their own pets, or that he evoked memories of a cat they had known. When these people read about Dewey, they identified with him: his quirks, his habits, his fears and his loves. Never give up. Find your place. No matter who you are, you can change the world. Those aren’t just messages from Dewey’s life. They are messages from every cat’s life to those of us with open hearts and minds to hear them. Dewey’s Nine Lives is only partially about Dewey. You won’t know their names, but when you read these stories you will understand their experiences; you will know them, because in many ways they are just like you, or your family, or someone you love. Some of the stories are touching; some triumphant; some funny and affecting; all are about the magic that happens when a human
