Advance Praise for “My One-Eyed, Three-Legged Therapist: How My Cat Clio Saved Me”

“Often hilarious, sometimes deeply poignant, but above all surprising and original. Any animal-lover will find Finley’s very personal story compelling.” 

—Mary A. Turzillo, author of Cosmic Cats and Fantastic Furballs


“Kathy Finley’s wonderfully written and very intimate memoir exemplifies not only the human-animal bond, but also the powerful healing effects that cats have on their people. It is a story of personal triumph and finding one’s inner strength to conquer traumatic life events. This is a must-read for cat lovers and also for those who are healing from current or previous painful experiences.” 

— Dawn White, www.lolatherescuedcat.com


My One-Eyed, Three-Legged Therapist is a heartwarming tribute to the many cats Kathy Finley has loved in her life, especially her completely confident Clio. Her empathy and love for Clio led Finley to see the world through Clio’s eyes and experience the joy, resilience, determination, and self-esteem our companion animals can teach us if we only watch and listen. All animal lovers will thoroughly relate and will enjoy curling up with this book.”
