Long
time readers of the web page, Sydnas Sloot, and its tools forsale page, will
remember the many pictures of a red mackerel short hair cat, "Mo" that appeared
there over a period of three or four years. Mo was an endearing pet, who
unfortunately was stricken with feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy--and passed
from us within two years of his diagnosis.
Barbara,
who was totally enamored of this cat has written a book in Mo's memory,
recounting his development, behaviors, and decline--and generally celebrating
the life of an animal who brought great pleasure to all who knew him. The
book, MO -- CAT OF MY HEART, was recently
published by Xlibris , and is available from Barbara, or may be ordered from any
bookstore.
Proceeds that derive from the sale of this book will be donated to the "Ricky Fund" of the Winn Feline Foundation for research toward a cure for feline Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
