The author experienced a curious dream about a stray cat, with the odd name Geraldine Goodkitty, and her three kittens. She decided to write about each of the characters in the dream in order to probe its meaning. Geraldines story began to expand and the author continued to write. The story grew into a composite inspired by the cats that have touched her life and the lives of those close to her. Geraldine Goodkitty is told primarily from a feline perspective. However, the animal and human stories interweave at various points and finally converge. The author hopes to sensitize people to the plight of animals that are abandoned and encourage them to search deep into their own hearts for the answers to our human dilemmas.
