Above all, it shows us why cats matter and why our lives are richer when they share the journey with us.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 人與街貓的溫心物語
萍水相逢的緣分 展開一趟相伴的旅程此書由澳洲雪梨唯一一家保護街貓非營利組織The Cat Protection Society of NSW Inc.(CPS)編輯撰寫，此組織一年照顧3千到4千隻街貓，成立「不殺生收容所(no-kill shelter)」，希望街貓能有溫暖的地方棲身，更希望能幫街貓找到新飼主。書中的故事都是組織成員以及志工的親身經歷：
貓奴飼主的告白
來到CPS當志工，我就「很衰的」被這隻薑黃貓盯上了。他跑來跟我「說話」，鑽進我的臂彎，用冰冷的眼神盯著其他人，唯有對我不同。雖然百葉窗被打爛、桌上東西被打壞、燈座被抓爆，但我還是很感謝CPS讓我展開幸福貓奴的生活！
貓與寶寶的幸福日子
一對夫妻從CPS網站上認養了貓咪Ness，妻子卻在之後發現自己懷孕了！他們並沒有把Ness送走，而是讓Ness逐漸熟悉寶寶的存在。Ness和寶寶和平共處，同睡一張床，寶寶抓他也頂多一臉無辜樣。而女主人無論在產前或產後，只要情緒變糟，Ness就會在旁邊安撫她。
街貓與人的溫馨物語
Petra家的後院出現了一隻街貓Bella。Bella見到人影就逃，對人非常害怕和不信任。即使願意吃Petra一家人在後院準備的食物，Bella還是對人類非常防備。沒想到在Bella產下小貓後，竟然願意帶著小貓到Petra家暫居，也願意接受他們家提供的住處，甚至願意讓Petra撫摸！而Petra在因病離職後，Bella和她的小貓也給她無可取代的心靈溫暖…。
超高齡貓瑞
癌症末期的飼主送貓咪Toby到CPS，飼主希望在告別人世後，伴他已久的Toby可以有人照顧。因為超過被領養的年齡，Toby只能繼續留在CPS，卻成為眾人的吉祥物，還活到貓界超高齡19歲（相當於人類110歲），即將往20歲邁進！
