description: When aspiring screenwriter Andrew Bloomfield moved into a bungalow in Southern California he soon discovered that he shared the property with a large colony of feral cats  untamed uninterested in human touch not purring pets in waiting. But after a midnight attack by predators that decimated yet another litter of kittens Bloomfield decided to intervene. He began to name and nurse feed and house rescue and neuter. Drawing on his time living in Asia among spiritual teachers he takes us on the contemplative humorous and poignant journey of saving these cats only to find it was they who saved him by revealing a world of meaning beyond his unrealized Hollywood dreams.
