If you love cats, you'll love this story.  The main character, Roxy, owns a cat shelter.  She meets a single parent (Max) whose son (Derek) must fulfill community service work at the shelter.  Unfortunately the boy had a bad experience with a cat in his childhood and they terrify him. Although Max, Roxy and Derek become close, Derek's phobia stands in the way of them pulling together as a family.Since I love felines, I really enjoyed hearing about the different kinds of cats that end up in the shelter. As a cat owner, I could relate to all the work involved in taking care of cats.  I particularly enjoyed the lengths that Roxy would go to show the cats a good time. I wanted to take several of the kitties home, or at least stroke their beautiful fur.As I read, I kept rooting for Derek to make a breakthrough in his phobia. I also wanted Roxy and Max to end up together. Does the tale end purrfectly, or is there a catastrophe in the making? I'm not saying, but "Better Than Catnip" did make my tail wag.
