Favorite Quote
That she was an emotionally remarkable cat had long since become clear; that she was also a creature capable of more compassionate insight and support than I'd ever experienced now became plain even to skeptics.

Introduction
Cats have been alternately worshipped, feared, and admired across the world for millennia.
Relative to dogs, cats chose to live among humans more recently. Although many of their wilder instincts remain intact, they can also form deep bonds with human companions.
Caleb Carr experienced such a bond with a rescue cat called Masha. His 2024 memoir, My Beloved Monster – part zoological guide and part shared autobiography – explores the profound bonds that can form between humans and cats.
As we follow the 17-year story of Caleb and Masha, we are also invited to learn fascinating facts about felines.
