About the author
Cleveland Amory
46 books71 followersCleveland Amory was an American author, journalist, television critic, and prominent animal rights activist. He gained early recognition with The Proper Bostonians (1947), a witty examination of Boston’s elite, and continued to satirize high society with The Last Resorts and Who Killed Society? Over a long career, he contributed to major publications, including The Saturday Evening Post, TV Guide, and Parade, and was a commentator on NBC’s Today show until his outspoken views on animal rights led to his dismissal.
A passionate advocate for animal welfare, Amory founded the Fund for Animals in 1967 and played a key role in several high-profile animal rescues, including the relocation of burros from the Grand Canyon. He also established the Black Beauty Ranch, a sanctuary for abused and abandoned animals. His best-selling Cat trilogy, beginning with The Cat Who Came for Christmas (1987), chronicled his life with a stray cat named Polar Bear and further cemented his legacy as a defender of animals. Recognized as a pioneer of the modern animal rights movement, he influenced legislation and public awareness while enlisting celebrities in his campaigns.

Skunks, he claims, are the friendliest of all animals. This is very good to know. And the last thing on their mind is to spray you with their wonderful sent. So if you see a skunk don't run. Becalm. Turn around and slowly walk away. At least this is what we do when 1 comes into our house to eat our cat food. Now, we just put our cat food up on the counter, and since they can't climb it is safe, And I don't think he's coming into the house anymore, but who knows?
This book is filled with all kinds of tidbits about various types of animals. Kids in adults both would love this book. I read it at bedtime, And if I miss a story it doesn't matter, because I don't remember many of them anyway. For your information, this is the only 1 I remembered.
