What drew me to this story was the theme - cats. I'm a cat lover myself. I firmly believe our pets are in our lives to teach us lessons and so I wanted to find out what lesson Casper was working on.

This is a very concise written story. It's direct and to the point, but there enough personalization that lets us know what makes Cazzie so special.

Casper aka Cazzie is a bit of fat cat, literally, who gets injured and it goes unnoticed. In a quick turn of events, Cazzie, a friendly cat with a lot of positive personality, needs treatment. As he goes through the treatment, he takes in stride and this is where the lesson comes in. The last sentence of the story sums it up: He is teaching us by example not only how to enjoy each and every day but also how to face life’s challenges when they arise.

I really liked the ending because it left the reader on a positive note with hope for Cazzie that he would make it through. The story is very inspirational and written in warm tones.

My only suggestion would be maybe to add an addendum with an update as to Cazzie cat since this piece was written in 2009. Oh, on a bit of technical note, I might increase the font to make it easier to read on WDC. This story is a great example of how much our pets are a part of our family.
