True Grit - Charles Portis

 

Trade paperback movie tie-in. General Sterling Price the cat. One of the best books I have ever read. Plus the John Wayne movie tie-in. My rescue cat is named General Sterling Price. Found him in a McDonald's parking lot.

You don't have any family, do you?

Except Chen Lee and that lazy cat.

General Price don't belong to me.

Cats don't belong to nobody!

He just rooms with me.

Course I depend on him...
