RESCUE, Calif. — Animal expert Susan Fiedler introduces readers to life from a cat’s perspective in her newly-released “Birds, Mice, and Apple Pie” (ISBN-10: 0-9778580-1-4), a non-fiction paperback published by Spotted Cat Designs.

Fiedler tells her tale from the viewpoint of a third-generation feral kitten adopted by a family of humans. Six cats from different backgrounds tell their stories to the young kitten with a mix of matter-of-fact compassion and humor. Through these stories, readers are given a cat’s-eye view of feline life, shelters, catteries, birth, dying with dignity, and human cruelty and kindness.

Susan FiedlerAs Fiedler puts it, “Those creatures who dare to share their lives and love with us deserve our respect, compassion and love in return.”

Fiedler draws from almost 40 years of experience taking care of animals and pours her love for them into this timeless book. Without heavy-handed moralizing, “Birds, Mice, and Apple Pie” provides a heartwarming glimpse into the lives of abandoned and unwanted cats. And in the tradition of books such as May Sarton’s “The Fur Person,” Susan Fiedler’s cats come to life in a unique way that will appeal to readers of all ages.

Readers can also visit the companion web site to “Birds, Mice, and Apple Pie” at SpottedCatDesigns.com where they can read articles on cat care, browse the latest cat news, and ask questions about interacting with their own cats. “Birds, Mice, and Apple Pie” (ISBN 0-9778580-1-4) is now available from major booksellers including Amazon.com and BarnesAndNoble.com.
