This is a sweet tale of the cat with an uncanny ability to sense when someone is near death where he lives in a nursing home. Many if not all of the patients have Alzheimer's disease. I found it to be more than the story of the cat who comforted them in the hours just before they passed away. As the doctor who narrates the story does his research about the cat, he speaks with the families of the deceased in depth. They relate the stories of their loved ones. I found this to be basically gentle instructions on how best to understand and help the Alzheimer's patient themselves. In that regard, it was very enlightening, and I would highly recommend it to anyone trying to deal with this terrible disease. D.
