description: The Old Man and The Cat is a story of how Nils Uddenberg retired Professor of Psychology became a beloved cat-owner even though he had never wanted a pet of any kind.One winter morning the author discovered a cat--whom he would later find was homeless--sitting outside his bedroom window staring at him with big yellow eyes. Slowly but surely the cat worked itself into his life.This award-winning writer who has a background in psychology could not stop himself from going deeper into the cat's inner life. Does she have a sense of humor? Is it possible to attach human feelings to her? And the trickiest question of all: Is our little cat actually interested in our attachment to her?With humor and self-awareness Nils describes how his existence changed after the cat moved into his house. The feelings she stirs up are a surprise to him and he quickly finds himself falling in love with this speckled grey-brown little lady.
