Acknowledgements

A special “thank you” to Susie Bowers for sharing her fractured-kneecap experience with me and to Jim Bowers for follow-up care advice.

I believe nobody knows more about cat lore and behavior than Kris Field (BarnwaterCats.org), an amazing defender of felines and a dedicated rescuer of displaced and abused animals of all species. Thank you for all you’ve taught me and all you do, Kris.

As always, I am indebted to Jan Reynolds, Gail Lindsey, Lori Gee, Jim Coleman and Olivia Coleman for their time, expertise and feedback as first readers.

I especially wish to acknowledge my critique group partner Bonnie McCune (BonnieMcCune.com) who has stayed with me since 2000, generously sharing her support, guidance and insights. You’re the best, Bonnie!

Last, but certainly not least, to all my family, friends and readers who have been so supportive and encouraging, you make my efforts fun and rewarding. Many thanks!
