Dour and withdrawn since his wife's death, he had little patience with wooing sick animals back to health and was said to be a wee bit too quick with the chloroform. There was Andrew's seven year old daughter, who brought her ailing cat, Thomasina, to her father to be cured-only to be bitterly disappointed by Andrew's hasty and unfeeling disposal of her beloved cat. And there was Lori-beautuful, "daft Lori," whose gentle and mysterious powers of healing caused some of the villagers to call her a saint-or a witch. How Thomasina, taking full advantage of a cat's nine lives, brought these three together is a story which may be enjoyed for its face value excitement and whimsey, but in which the more discerning reader will find both trenchant allegory and spirit-filled philosophy."
