“I live alone with two cats and I love them both, maybe more than would be usual. I have many friends and affections around me, and memories of loves that life brought and took away to whom I remain devoted and grateful. Still there is something different, so particular and poignant about living with a little creature through whom the whole animal world speaks without speaking. Such a little one is a whole education as well as companion, friend and comforter.”

So writes Anne Stockton in Honey-Bun, a compelling memoir about an exceptional cat. Stockton, a scholar and painter of eighty-eight years invites us to examine with her the unique relationship between animals and people, between grief and renewal.

After the death of her much-loved cat, the author finds solace in her ability to explore their past together.
