Summary, etc.:

Set in the dusty Karoo desert town of Aberdeen, South Africa, "Cat Tales for Mariette" tells of the unexpected friendship that forms between Michael Brown and a dying woman, Mariette Van Wyk. The two bond over Michael's sharing cat stories from his many years of life shared with cats. Mariette's unfulfilled longing to experience the presence of cats in her life comes to fruition through cat tales over tea and cookies in the hospital. As Mariette takes the final steps of her journey, these stories magically bring insight, healing, and resolution to her past and also to Michael's.
