I got this second hand so hopefully someone will recognize this book. A
patron is looking for a book about a cat that is told from the cat's point
of view. He is rescued by a couple and then lives with them. He calls them
He and She. They have a summer place in the country and he talks to the
other cat about how they don't like going there. Does this sound familiar?
Thanks.

I remember this one! The Autobiography of Foudini M. Cat by Susan
Fromberg Schaeffer. I'm not a cat person but this was a wonderful book.

Schaeffer as a cat lover I adored this book

This could be one of the two classic 'cat books' by Paul Gallico, either
"Jennie" or "Thomasina".

Hope this lead is of some use.
