Twas the night before Christmas when a self-described curmudgeon rescues a bedraggled feline from a snowy New York City alley. Thus begins this tale of a man and his cat or, rather, of a cat and his man as told by Amory in  The Cat Who Came For Christmas. This is the sequel and Book II of The Compleat Cat.  Despite his hard-knock beginnings, Polar Bear is finicky about his newfound fame. Will nine lives be enough for him to answer all his fan mail? This tale of two curmudgeons will tickle the fancy of everyone who has ever been owned by a cat. Cleveland Amory has devoted a tremendous amount of his time and energy to The Fund for Animals.
