ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

First, thank you to Lawrence Morris, O.D., for sharing his knowledge and invaluable speculations on the nature of vision. Also, thank you, Kevin Shrock, M.D., for patiently answering all my bizarre medical questions.

Grateful appreciation goes to Kay McCauley and the Pimlico Agency and to my terrific editors, John Scognamiglio and Dana Isaacson.

Special thanks go to Nigel and Dave, experts on feline psychology, and to Robert, Quinn, and Doug for all that good stuff—you guys are the best!
