About the book
Senator Bollweevil, Cat Extraordinaire, A
Memoir is the story of a Southern-bred, gentleman cat's life,
acquaintances, occurrences, and the pursuit of a happily full tummy. This
memoir is Senator Bollweevil's way of addressing many issues that can and
often do affect cats in a variety of circumstances. The need to make cat
owners, their children, care givers, and cat lovers aware of a cats basic
needs, health and traits, are of primary importance to him. His choice to
relay the information in an easily remembered story rather than text book
format makes this book a perfect gift or keepsake for cat lovers to read
and re-read.
Excerpts:
This book is dedicated to all veterinarians; men and women, past and
present, at home or abroad, who through research and application work to
prevent disease and pestilence, thereby making the world a safer
environment for animals and humans alike.
Why in the world would anyone want to read a book penned by a cat? you
ask. Because it's full of lessons to be learned by cat owners and future
cat owners alike. Who better to tell why a cat does what it does than a
cat?
Fuzzbucket, safely inside the house, was beside herself. "Usurper!
Rogue! Beggar!" she screamed at me through the plate glass picture
window above me. With her paws pressed tightly against the window and tail
furiously lashing back and forth, she added several more unladylike
insults to her rant. Any other time I might have taken offense at the
expletives she hurled at me, but I was so intent on satisfying my intense
hunger that I plain didn't care. I had had a plate of food given solely to
me. I didn't have to share it, and I intended to savor each bite to the
utmost, regardless of how anyone else felt about it. I simply got up,
walked around to the other side of the plate, and with my back to the
window sat down and continued to eat.
Of Note:
$2.00 of the cost of each book will be donated to

About the Author
Anita H Lenssen, a native North Carolinian, has
worked with a myriad of animals. She concentrates mainly on working with
senior, geriatric, and disabled, hard to place cats. Through reading and
counseling with the amazing veterinarians she has been privileged to know
she has gained an understanding of working with cats. As president of the
North Carolina Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for over
20 years she can attest that animals, especially cats, are subjected to
acts of cruelty, whether through ignorance or with malice. It is not her
intention to refer to anything worse than what Senator tells in his story.
This book is not about a place in time, but about a state of heart and
mind.
