SOLVED. Biography/ Memoir about a Cat. Written from cat's perspective by his owner. (Not A Street Cat Named Bob). Read around 2012. [s]

[Taylor]

The book is a biography. It is written in the perspective of the cat, as if he is telling the story. One of his owners is an author and is the one writing the story. His owner is gay and married to another man. I think the setting is set in a European country and not America but I could be wrong about that.

I read the book years ago in my early teen years, maybe around 2012.

The plot was about the cat seeing the world through his perspective. He has a sarcastic, opinionated voice and "adopted" his owners by just walking into their house one day. The book also touches on the struggles his owners face by being gay men in a world where that isn't mainstream. There are other cat characters that pop up from the cat's previous life of being a stray. The story ends with him being taken to the vetertinary office to be euthanized because of health issues due to old age. It's a very good book and I would love to find it again but everytime I search for it, A Street Cat Named Bob pops up. Very annoying! Thank you!

Perhaps try some Google searches that omit Bob (e.g., keywords... -bob)?

Do you remember the cover?

The Story of Fester Cat maybe?

That's the one! Thank you so much. It's a wonderful feeling getting closure and finding out what the book is called. It's like finding the name of a song that is stuck in your head!
