Enter Ting, a seven-pound Korat who changed his life, and the life of the family. All kittens are mischievous, but Ting “the cat grenade” was \u003ci\u003ereal\u003c\/i\u003e trouble. She was also smart, endearing, and the soul of the Warren family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     In late 2008, Lissa’s father died of a heart attack. The images from that night still haunt her—especially the EKG readout ending in one long, devastating em dash. Less than a year later, Lissa and her mother stared at another EKG readout, this time for Ting. A living feline extension of the man they missed so much—the man they had tried, but failed, to save—she was diagnosed with a potentially fatal heart condition. The only option was to have a human pacemaker implanted in the cat—a procedure even the best animal hospital in Boston hadn’t performed in a decade. Determined not to lose another family member, they embarked on a medical odyssey on behalf of the gray cat who had been her father’s shadow—a journey that would prepare one of them for her own serious diagnosis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   A gorgeously written memoir about grief, hope, and how pets both complicate and enrich our lives, \u003ci\u003eThe Good Luck Cat\u003c\/i\u003e is a testament to the power of the human—and the feline—spirit.
