Dadcat University

One night in August 1991 I noticed two tom cats rummaging in a dumpster at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst where I worked. That observation led to the discovery there were feral cats secretly living on campus in a community governed by the illustrious Dadcat. The Dadcat's wife, Ashes, who allowed me to join their private world, and I immersed myself in their culture - the Jane Goodall of feral cats - determined to find out if they could ever trust a human. Dadcat University is a true story about my incredible friends and the journey we embarked on in forming lifelong, trusting relationships that exceeded any of our expectations.
