A Book for All Ages
J. Lynn Hughes
THE EXTRAORDINARY EXPLOITS OF IRVIN, THE HANDICAPPED CAT is the story of the meanderings of a scruffy, but charming "mouldy old soul" - an abandoned alley cat. Irvin tries to survive in a hostile world coping with and solving intricate problems through clever, improvisational solutions. Along the way he acquires a variety of unusual acquaintances and friends.
Irvin doesn't manage the joys and heartaches of true love quite so well. His love is the exquisite and, at times, intimidating, black stray, Shaday. His unique feline heart, filled with godly compassion, won't let Irvin harm any innocent living creature, not even the humblest of sparrows, not even on the chilliest, hungriest of days.
THE EXTRAORDINARY EXPLOITS OF IRVIN, THE HANDICAPPED CAT is an extraordinary/ordinary tale. It deals mostly with everyday life, but in the last chapter, even such a mundane object as a small sofa brings about a miracle.
In due course Irvin is adopted into the perfect, permanent home, the strength of his youth returns to his limbs and he discovers that, even missing his right back leg, he can jump again.
However, what means the most to Irvin, after loving, losing and locating Shaday again, is to finally learn that she has always loved him, too, from the moment that they met.
