A Cat Called Canoe

by Ron Stob, Eva Stob

A Cat Called Canoe is a kind of love story between a man and his cat and his wife and the cat, a story that describes a relationship of adulation and affection offset by feline behaviors and events that addle the wits. This humorous tale (pun intended) may be just what the therapist ordered for those of us upset and unsettled with world events. In his new book Stob brings to life what comic strip characters do weekly in newspapers across the nations, giving readers a glimpse into a cat’s psyche and life with his human benefactors. Canoe, a black and white longhaired domestic with amber eyes, is a museful, narcissistic, hell-bound sleuth and an unplanned blessing in his owners’ lives.

Ron and Eva Stob adopted an undernourished stray cat and christened him Canoe. This book consists of short essays about what the quirky cat brought to their lives. Canoe was both loving and exasperating (this, of course, describes most cats). Cat lovers should definitely enjoy this book.
