While the Cat's Away: 12 Books About Our Favorite Felines

A feel-good story about an old man named Ove (pronounced “Oo-ve” in case you were wondering) who could rival even Grumpy Cat’s sour demeanor, this book is a perfect example of why we love cats. With the help of a sweet neighboring family and an insistent stray, Ove is able to overcome his grief at having lost his wife and shed his bitter ways. The cat has that certain special feline way of wearing the curmudgeon down until they become the best of pals.
