Synopsis

Rita Mae Brown's first memory is the sound of a deep, rumbling purr. From the cat that slept in her cradle to the horses, hounds, cats, and chickens who live on her Virginia farm today, Brown has always been surrounded by animals.

Listeners will meet Mickey, a long-haired tiger cat who joined Rita Mae on childhood exploits; Franklin, her grandmother's parrot with a wicked sense of humor; R.C., a courageous and devoted Doberman who was killed by a pack of coyotes; Baby Jesus, a tiger cat from New York City with sharp teeth to match his attitude; and, of course, her beloved tiger cat Sneaky Pie.

Animal Magnetism is a celebration of these wonderful creatures and of their remarkable capacity to enrich our lives and our hearts.

Goodreads review by Polly on June 07, 2021

This isn't the best book, it's nowhere near the worst. It's a collection of essays about animals the author has known; just what the front and back covers, and certainly, the table of contents, says it is. For this reason, I am perplexed by other reviews which call it "disjointed" or "random." That's......more

Goodreads review by Susan on June 27, 2022

This memoir is abundant with furry creatures the author has known since birth including one Persian/Angora tiger cat named Mickey that slept in her crib.
