| Summary: | "Scott Simon's household does not make much distinction between humans and other animals - whether two legs or four, flesh-covered, fur-covered, feathered, or gilled - everyone is family. The beloved host of NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday and one of the hosts of NPR's Up First has welcomed animals into his life since his youth. He first connected with Penny, the family dog who pushed him to crawl and stand. Today, Simon lives with haiku-writing French poodle Daisy, daringly audacious foster cat Gato Blanco, and energetic hamster Bagel, who was almost Gato's meal. And that's just the start. Ulysses S. Cat and Other Animals I Have Known warmly documents and philosophizes about the quotidian joys, worries, love, loss, and humor in the remarkable relationships between species. From a cat who escaped the British Embassy but had to keep her accent, to street dogs during Sarajevo's siege, to a series of beta fish all named Salman Fishdie, Simon's work is a profusion of exuberant memories and musings on a life spent in animal company"-- |
