The Good Luck Cat: How a Cat Saved a Family, and a Family

The Good Luck Cat: How a Cat Saved a Family, and a Family Saved a Cat

Lissa Warrenâ€™s father needed a retirement companion while his wife and daughter were at work. Enter Ting, a seven-pound Korat who changed his life, and the life of the family. All kittens are mischievous, but Ting â€œthe cat grenadeâ€ was real trouble. She was also smart, endearing, and the soul of the Warren family.

In late 2008, Lissaâ€™s father died of a heart attack. The images from that night still haunt herâ€”especially the EKG readout ending in one long, devastating em dash. Less than a year later, Lissa and her mother stared at another EKG readout, this time for Ting. A living feline extension of the man they missed so muchâ€”the man they had tried, but failed, to saveâ€”she was diagnosed with a potentially fatal heart condition. The only option was to have a human pacemaker implanted in the catâ€”a procedure even the best animal hospital in Boston hadnâ€™t performed in a decade. Thus they began a medical odyssey on behalf of the little gray cat who had been her fatherâ€™s shadowâ€”a journey that would prepare one of them for her own serious diagnosis.

A gorgeously written memoir about grief, hope, and how pets both complicate and enrich our lives, The Good Luck Cat is a testament to the power of the humanâ€”and the felineâ€”spirit.
