The Cat Who Cried for Help: Attitudes, Emotions, and the Psychology of Cats by Nicholas Dodman, ISBN 0553378546
In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Nicholas Dodman does for feline psychology what he did for canines in his widely acclaimed "The Dog Who Loved Too Much. Here he reveals the fascinating, and often frustrating, mind of one of our most popular--and certainly most independent--animal companions, and shows how we can coexist peacefully with even the stubbornest of cats.
What do you do about a cat determined to tear your sofa to shreds? Or one who gorges himself on your best running shoes . . . or attacks anyone who dares to open the refrigerator door? Drawing on remarkable real-life stories from his practice at the prestigious Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Dodman shares the unique, compassionate, dramatically successful treatment programs that have given problem cats a new lease on life . . . and their perplexed owners long-term solutions to even the most intractable disorders.

The Cow Jumped Over the Moon: The Strange and Extraordinary Tale of a Nervous Breakdown
Life for journalist Rachael as she knew it was over. From panic attacks to weight gain, alienation and fear made her a mere shadow of her former self (although she looked more like a sofa than a shadow). Saggy, baggy, depressed, and rushing to hospital every five minutes with suspected heart attacks - it doesn't sound like a recipe for hilarity. But her personality shines through as she learns to laugh at herself and slowly fight her way back to a healthy - and happy - new life.

Our Noise by Jeff Gomez, ISBN 0684800993
Craig is armed with a college degree that has so far brought him nothing, certain that something better is just around the corner but unable to encounter it. He's been cohabiting with Ashley since college, and is caught in the dilemma of whether to break up with her or give in to marriage. Meanwhile, Ashley's efforts to earn a graduate degree seem futile considering that her diploma has taken up residence under the sofa cushions. Stuck in dead-end jobs; weary of commercial, corporate, and parental influences; searching for their own identities; Ashley, Craig, and the other characters of Our Noise find refuge in the brash world of indie rock, thrift stores, coffee houses, zines, and cheap beers. There are Eileen, who ends up in Kitty, Virginia, by accident and forgets to leave, and the members of Bottlecap, Kitty's hometown band, trying to decide whether to sell out and go to the West Coast or continue in the life of a small band. Chipp and Randy start a zine as a way to get their blood...
