Comments on: Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World http://www.moderncat.net/2009/01/02/dewey-the-small-town-library-cat-who-touched-the-world/ Modern designs for living with cats Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:15:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Anna Sviridova http://www.moderncat.net/2009/01/02/dewey-the-small-town-library-cat-who-touched-the-world/comment-page-1/#comment-17676 Anna Sviridova Tue, 26 May 2009 22:46:17 +0000 http://www.moderncat.net/?p=949#comment-17676 I read a book on my way to vacation during 5 hours. I was crying. We need to know about such stories. I have two cats of ginger color. Such stories make us softer and let us think about love...Just one thing I did not like: Dewey could die without any injections but a natural way, I could never do this with my life fried...And I would help him with all my efforts to spend his last days the easiest way possible....

Dewey is a sweet, fabulous example of how deeply the animal human bond can be and how this helps us on all levels. For those who disbelieve, or who are doubtful that such an intricate relationship can exist (between humans and animals); I can only say that one must be open, empathetic, aware and have an ability to think outside the box. Cats are fabulous, individual, unique, intelligent, amazing animals. I would like to suggest to Vicki Myron and her co-author as well as the Spencer Public Library that the best way to continue Dewey's legacy is to share his good fortune with other animals who are less fortunate. Perhaps a percentage; a portion of the profits which come from the book, the proposed movie and any other publications/productions be donated to the creation of a NO KILL animal sanctuary/shelter in Spencer or wherever near there one may be needed. What better way to extend the love and nurturing that Dewey received? I believe any/all abandoned, stray, abused or thrown away kitties, if given the chance, could turn out wonderful, too. Never another Dewey! Of course; there is only one Dewey but....just think of all the unlucky kittens and cats out there waiting for someone to save them.

We have two cats (1 in and 1 out) and we love them both. Dewey was a very special cat as well as all cats who give unconditional love and lower the blood pressure too! We finished the book today (1/23/09) on the way home from looking for a "home" for our "special" daughter. Of course we (Dad and I) cried even though we knew the ending. Thank you Vickie for giving us a book that touches us all. I will be passing it on just as I did with Marley & Me. Great books!!

I started and finished it in less than a day, it was that good. This isn't a cutsie story by any means. This was serious content and Vicki Myron is an excellent writer who skillfully weaves the tale of two lives and how they supported and sustained each other through good and bad times. I dare anyone to read this book and say that Myron is a lightweight or that this cat didn't actually perform a service. Yes I cried at the end.... I asked for the book for Christmas and got it.

YES!!! I have had it up to here and beyond with dogs being shoved down our collective throats by the media (last night during prime time and every Friday night during prime time in living memory, for instance, every show was about -- you guessed it -- dogs) and it's wonderful that the nation's REAL favorite companion animal is being honored in this way and advocated for! Hope it's the start of a trend. A film version? YES!!!
