IF THE CAT FITS: STORIES OF A VET'S WIFE by Chrystal Sharp

In the first five years of their married life, Chrystal Sharp and her veterinarian husband encounter a variety of creatures - feathered, furred and even scaled.  Some pass through their lives while others insert a toe in the door and hang on tooth and nail.  Often literally.  With many of them coming from what social workers might describe as 'dysfunctional backgrounds', a fair amount of chaos is to be expected.

There is the greyhound who, unlike Greta Garbo, does not want to be alone.  Then there are the cats - one suffering from delusions of grandeur, an epileptic, a snake collector and another recently discharged from a reformatory - not to mention peacocks of royal lineage, oiled penguins and a lost albatross.  These are but a few of the creatures who find their way into the couple's home - and their hearts.

A delightful and heartwarming book.

Soft cover, fairly good condition.  The cover has some minor creasing, and the book shows slight signs of wear.  260 pages.
