The book Kym is about a Siamese cat, as told by his "mother", author Joyce Stranger. From the time he came home, a tiny yet feisty kitten, Kym was special, talkative, daring, and too eager to use up his nine lives. The author shares her memories of Kym with humor, pathos, and love. Recommended. ( )

I had fond memories of reading this book as a kid, and I just had to try and find it again. When I finally found it, it was just as wonderful reading it at 27 as at 10.
Ms. Stranger really brings across Kym's personality in her writing (and he sure had a lot of personality to bring across!). It was hilarious, touching, happy, sad....the reader really gets a feel for how much this animal was a part of their lives.
Has to be one of my favorite books ever. ( )
