What is the plot of a book about a cat? It turns out, it's a story about everything.
From a guarded childhood full of unusual and sometimes menacing cats to an adult life transformed by a single stray, Three Tuxedos is a deeply felt and often humorous memoir about how three black and white cats-Henry, Chauncey, and Leo-taught a couple how to truly live.

Henry, the street-savvy stray cat who muscled his way into their lives, changed everything. He taught the author and his wife, Lucy, how to connect, how to care, and how to love without reservation. When his time came to an end, the pain of pet loss was a life-altering event.

Then came Chauncey, the reserved extrovert rescued from a shelter, who also passed too soon from injection site sarcoma. Finally, Leo, the fearless, indoor kitten and Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) survivor became their constant, joyful companion. Through these three unique animals, the book reflects on the simple, everyday moments that reveal the shared plot of life-birth, aging, and death-and the profound, unexpected connections we form with the creatures we let into our hearts.

This is more than just a cat book. It's a meditative reflection on how these cats nudged their humans toward a life lived more generously, more intentionally, and full of grace. If you know the comforting sound of a purr, the joy of a perfect tuxedo cat napping in the sun, or the grief of having to say goodbye, you will find yourself in this beautiful animal memoir.
