A quiet story about love, memory, and the cats who leave their mark.
A Man and His Cats is a literary novella told through moments of companionship, loss, and care. As Ken shares these stories with his great-granddaughter, Gracie, memory becomes a way of holding on, and storytelling becomes an act of love.
The chapters move through different seasons of Ken’s life and the cats who shared it—sometimes one at a time, sometimes overlapping—always leaving something behind. Together, these stories explore loyalty, friendship, grief, and presence, and the small, ordinary ways love makes itself known.
This is not a story about rescuing animals. It is a story about noticing them. About staying. About what it means to care for another being by not letting them be lost.
Written with restraint and warmth, A Man and His Cats is for readers who appreciate reflective fiction, quiet moments, and stories that trust the reader to feel rather than be told what to feel.
