Making Rounds with Oscar
Making Rounds with Oscar: The Extraordinary Gift of an Ordinary Cat | David Dosa
3 posts | 8 read | 2 to read
A remarkable cat. A life-changing story. Making Rounds with Oscar: The Extraordinary Gift of an Ordinary Cat is the story of a doctor who, at first, doesn't always listen; of the patients he serves; of their caregivers; and, most importantly, of a cat who teaches by example, embracing moments of life that so many of us shy away from. "Oscar has much to teach us about empathy and courage. I couldn't put it down." --Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants "This book is a must-read. Truly, this is a story that needs to be told." --Fresh Fiction "You'll be moved." --People "This touching and engaging book is a must-read for more than just cat lovers; anyone who enjoys a well-written and compelling story will find much to admire in its unlikely hero." --Publishers Weekly "[The] book, both touching and humorous, isn't just about Oscar. It's about listening and letting go." --USA Today

#NFNov Book 7 finished. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
#TIL Cats have been allowed in most nursing homes since the 80s.
This is a mostly Memoir about the Dr and his dementia patients. Oscar is the resident cat who visits the dying just as they near the end of life. Overall a touching story. @Clwojick @rsteve388

Sorry, Oscar. You‘re adorable, and your story is intriguing (you sense the impending death of nursing home patients with dementia). However, the writing in this book is not compelling enough to make me want to read the whole thing. I bailed, but not before reading the interview with the author which I found at the end of this book.

I need something light to read. I‘m going to try this as I‘m a “cat person”. I hope it‘s a good read.
