Caleb Carr lived with cats ever since he was a young boy. He grew up in
a turbulent household – where famous Beat poets, artists and addicts
came and went – and his steadiest companions were pets. Since then he
had many feline companions, with relationships that have outlasted most
of his human ones. But only after building a three-story home in rural,
upstate New York did he encounter someone extraordinary: Masha, a
Siberian Forest cat who had been abandoned as a kitten and was
languishing in a shelter. She had hissed and fought off all previous
carers and potential adopters, but somehow, she chose him.
For the seventeen years that followed, Caleb and Masha were
inseparable. Masha ruled the house and the dangerous wilderness
surrounding it. When she was hurt, only Caleb could help her. When he
suffered long-standing physical ailments, Masha knew what to do. Caleb
learned to decode much of Masha’s inner life but their bond went far
beyond owner and pet. Inspiring, heart-breaking and life-affirming,
this is a love story like no other.
