But after a midnight attack by predators that decimated yet another litter of kittens, Bloomfield decided to intervene. He began to name and nurse, feed and house, rescue and neuter. Drawing on his time living in Asia among spiritual teachers, he takes us on the contemplative, humorous, and poignant journey of saving these cats, only to find it was they who saved him by revealing a world of meaning beyond his unrealized Hollywood dreams. 606 $aFeral cats$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$vAnecdotes 606 $aHuman-animal relationships 615 0$aFeral cats 615 0$aHuman-animal relationships. 676 $a636.8009794/94 700 $aBloomfield$b Andrew$f1960-$01587875 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136582903321 996 $aCall of the cats$93876472 997 $aUNINA
