Reception
Publishers Weekly reviewed the book saying, that Gethers is "at his best" when talking about Norton, especially about "his own mixed feelings about Norton's success", noting the author's ambivalence, especially given that the cat was given an obituary in People along with "Stanley Kubrick, Joe DiMaggio and King Hussein". Eva Lautemann, of The Library Journal, reviewed the book saying, "This bittersweet story of a cat who teaches his human friend lessons in loving and coping with illness is essential for all public libraries.
