They Had Me at Meow

Meow is the winner of the 2009 Muse Medallion Award from the International Cat Writer's Association.

The judge said:  "She had me at her first sentence.  A beautiful little jewel of a book:  wonderful stories, valuable information about feral cats and just the right touch of humor to spice things up.  If this book doesn't prompt you to care for an abandoned cat or kitten, then I fear for your humanity.  If I could award more points, I would."

     They Had Me at Meow:  Tails of Love from the Homeless Cats of Buster Hollow is a collection of funny, poignant stories (with color photos) about Rosie's 13-year relationship with a colony of homeless cats.  Meow is about connectedness and love, and about finding meaning and friendship in unexpected places. Several of the stories feature Turtleman, a former resident of Buster Hollow, and reveal how he became central to the lives of Rosie and Steve.

     Meow has received praise from The Humane Society of the United States, the San Francisco SPCA, the Marin Humane Society, Fix Our Ferals, Marin Cat Connection and other animal welfare organizations. Quantity discounts are available to animal welfare organizations.

(Rosie's) book taught me a lot and gave me sheer delight! . . . Congratulations (to her) on writing a superb paean to cats!"

       Ed Asner says, "Rosie is a great name for an author and a rescuer of furry people.  Her encounters with them are touching and comic. Rarely did I weep and if I did, it was with joy.  Thank you, Rosie."
