Meow, Monsieur! The French Felines of New Orleans is a memorial from a son to his father, said New Orleans author and Alexandria native Jim Gabour. During the last five months of Jimmie Gabour s life, his son kept him amused with different tales of the French-speaking cats.
The book features 20 stories of French-speaking cats living in New Orleans and how they and their humans relate to one another as they all go about their daily lives in the distinct neighborhoods that make up the city. New Orleans is also a character in the book which Gabour describes as a pretty peculiar little beastie.
