This book was very nice to read. It was enjoyable. The closer I got to the end, the more I wanted to read it.

When we lived in the country we had lots of cats. They each had very distinct personalities and they never ceased to amuse or surprise us. I am an animal lover,
any kind of animal. I was drawn to this book by the cover and of course the fact that was a personal story about a person's beloved pets. I have to admit I was a bit concerned. Many books like this are, well to put it politely, boring and mundane. Also my past experience with several has been the author talking more about themselves than the pet the book is supposed to be about.
This book was anything but boring! I found it entertaining, humorous and I learned many new things I did not know about cats and why the act the way they do. The author had the perfect balance in sharing personal history about herself and her beloved cats. They complimented each other.
Kit Kat and Lucy were both rescues that found the DuPont's. Like most felines they waltzed into their lives and claimed the family lock, stock, and barrel. I applaud Ms. DuPont for her openness about her depression and anxiety. The story wrapped around my heart about how Kit Kat and Lucy responded in very sensitive and amazing ways to comfort and uplift her. Ways that only a pet owner would believe and understand. I related as since my husband's death, I for the first time experience panic attacks. My dog Bill helps me with his show of canine concern and love. The cat's antics and manipulation of their "skin parents" were hilarious. For me it proved the old saying, "You don't own cats, they own you." This book was a joy and a blessing to read!!
I received a copy of this book from Revell Reads. All opinions are my own.

First, the disclaimer. "I was provided a free copy of this book. All opinions are my own." That done, KIT KAT AND LUCY is a really really fun story that I totally loved. It made me laugh, and it made me cry. As I read this story, I shared parts of it out loud with my family. My dad loved what I read so much he asked to read the book next.
Memoirs aren't exactly my genre of choice, but I loved this author's voice and getting to know more about her adjustment from city girl to country girl and about the cats that she loved. It gives me hope that the stray cat that adopted our family might someday move into our house and our hearts instead of being content to stay outside (or maybe it just relishes it's freedom).
Animals are truly a gift from God and they shower us humans with love. We've always had a pet, usually dogs, but are adopted by a cat or two or stay for a time then move on. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves animals (especially cats!), memoirs, and country life. It is hilarious! 5 stars!
