Where did the thread go about the book Waiting for Gertrude by Bill Richardson? I know I read about this book in here, and made a point of getting the book from the library to read it. I just want to say that it's an amazing book and I thoroughly enjoyed it, so thank you, whoever it was that posted about it in here! Obviously about cats, but these cats are very special. They lived in a cemetary in Paris, and are "translations" of famous people - the Gertrude in the title refers to Gertrude Stein. Anyway, you absolutely must read this book if you love cats - it's amazing!
