Freehold, NJ, February 14, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Here is an opportunity for those concerned with animal issues such as homelessness, animal testing, feral cats, dog fights, to read about them gratis in the memoirs of a cat who experienced it all.

Sisypuss, the narrator of Patricia Halloff's Sisypuss: Memoirs of a Vagabond Cat reminisces about the homeless journey made with his brother Bob and an odd assortment of characters met along the way. Three paws in the grave, he interweaves memories and his present life as Booley's cat companion with Booley's troubles with pharmaceuticals (he enrolls in clinical trials as a work alternative), women, and poetry editors. An incurable optimist and true believer in luck (though most of his is bad), Sisypuss tells how, among other things, he and Bob survive an overburdened animal shelter, a research lab, the death of a loved guardian, a godforsaken wood where his try at love with a feline fatale leaves him singing the blues, and, finally, the overwhelming event leading him to Booley and safety.

Patricia Halloff's fiction has appeared in respected literary journals such as New England Review, The Cream City Review, New Letters, Witness, and various anthologies. Besides authoring Sisypuss: Memoirs of a Vagabond Cat, she has written the novels Roadblocks to Nirvana and Memorial Candle.

Past work as a volunteer lobbyist for the major animal rights organizations Friends of Animals and The Society for Animal Rights has given her insider knowledge of the problems facing unwanted homeless animals, and her own cats have taught her all she needs to know about feline psychology. "Sisypuss," she says, "is Everycat who roams homeless on our city streets and country roads, and, like Everycat, he is his unique, unconquerable self."

Sisypuss's story is available at http://lulu.com/icia3 both as a free download and a $13.50 paperback book. All proceeds of book sales are donated to animal organizations actively fighting animal abuse.
