It is basically a true story about the mutual love between Jade, a tortoiseshell cat, and the author's family as well as her bitter rivalry with a female tabby cat named Thelma by the author. Jade is highly intelligent and knows how to take care of the author's wife who is insulin dependent. Jade has frequently helped save her from passing out due to hypoglycaemia. Jade behaves exactly like a human being - with emotions, compassions, sentiments, feelings, love, dignity, pride, affection and even affectation. Of course, she can be domineering at times, but is never oppressive. She is friendly not only to human beings, but also to many other animals including many tom cats and a few fox cubs. She likes Brian, a black cat, the most but dislikes Brad, a piebald cat, who follows Jade almost everywhere. Unfortunately she has also made enemy with Thelma who often comes into the area to harass and fight with Jade. Their confrontation persists for many years until Jade's death in 2008 because of kidney failure.
