In this tell-all of how the Tarte household grew from one recalcitrant cat to six-- including a hard-to-manage stray named Frannie-- Bob Tarte confesses to allowing these interlopers to shape his and wife's life, from their dining habits to their sleeping arrangements to the placement and furriness of their furniture. But more than that, Bob begins seeing Frannie and the other cats as unlikely instructors in the art of achieving contentment-- and realizes that sometimes wildness and mystery are exactly what he needs.
