Nine Lives of Christmas by Roberts, Sheila. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780349407401.

When a guy is in trouble, he starts making deals with his Creator . . . and Ambrose the cat is no exception. In danger of losing his ninth and final life, Ambrose makes a desperate plea to the universe. Hell do anything if he can just survive and enjoy a nice long, final life. His prayer is answered when a stranger comes along and saves him-and now it looks like he has to hold up his end of the bargain. The stranger turns out to be a firefighter named Zach, whos in need of some serious romantic help. If Ambrose can just bring Zach together with Merilee, the nice lady who works at Pet Palace, its bound to earn him a healthy ninth life. Unfortunately for Ambrose, his mission is a lot harder than he ever thought. Merriliee is way too shy to make the first move on a ladies man like Zach, and Zach thinks hes all wrong for a nice girl like Merrilee. Now its going to take all of Ambroses feline wiles-and maybe even a good old fashioned Christmas miracle-to make them both realize that what theyre looking for is right in front of their eyes.
