My Cat Merigold

My Cat, Merigold is about a real pet who was an important member of the Joy family for ten glorious years. He came into their lives as a mysterious stray cat that wandered into their yard and stole their hearts. The Joys always wondered what Merigold's life had been like before he became part of their family, and they had many questions to ask him. This book offers a list of some of these queries, which stimulate the reader's imagination, evoking colorful dreams and visions. Where had he lived, and what had his family been like? What had been his favorite meals, activities and pastimes? This is a book that will delight cat lovers of all ages. It's also a heart-warming literary work that the whole family can enjoy reading over and over together. The humorous rhyming format of the book and the whimsical illustrations delight the senses and make My Cat, Merigold an excellent reading book and literacy tool for youngsters from toddler hood through the early elementary grades. With glowing, emerald green eyes, and radiant, sun-lit fur, Merigold was truly a beautiful sight to behold. His personality was quiet, reserved, and dignified. He also seemed to be very wise, loving, and spiritually evolved. Of course, the truth about his early years remained forever enshrouded in mystery, and the only answer the Joy family could ever get to any of their questions from Merigold himself was invariably a loud, firm, "Meow."
