Do Cats Have Souls?

Are Cats' Eyes the Window to Their Souls?

Look into the eyes of a cat and then ask yourself this question. Do those eyes reveal the soul of a sentient being, or are they just the beautiful pools of a creature you share your home with? Do you think you will meet your cat in the hereafter?

Review: Dewey, the Small-Town Library Cat

Friday January 16, 2009

This book has been heavily promoted, and I finally decided it was high time I read it. About two pages into it and I was wondering why I had waited so long. I originally read "Dewey" on Kindle, which was a mistake, since the pictures were so small, and because I spent too much time fiddling around with bookmarks and highlights. I ordered the hardcover book, any my review is based on this version.

How can anyone write anything original about a cat who was so universally loved, that when he died his obituary was published in over 200 newspapers? Dewey originally had no cause to love and trust people. After all, a human had callously dropped him through a library book return slot on the coldest morning of the year, in sub-freezing temperatures. Thanks, however to Spencer Library Director Vicki Myron, and the library employees and patrons, Dewey soon became a people-loving, people-pleasing cat. To know Dewey was to love him.

Review: Pawbreakers, the Candy for Cats

Friday January 16, 2009

A member recently posted a glowing review of Pawbreakers, which reminded me that Jenny has never experienced this remarkable treat. I've just ordered a package of eight - two for each cat, and can't wait to see Jenny having the Pawbreaker experience.

Catjeans writes in her review in part: ""I got only one pawbreakers in a Christmas stocking for my cats. Big mistake! I had to immediately go out and purchase enough for everyone. Even my eldest kitty grabbed it and was the first to start biting it and eating it. I have one polydactyl that has a perfect thumb for holding onto it while licking and nibbling. He picked it up and licked for at least 20 minutes."

Feng Shui for Cats

Wednesday January 14, 2009

Jenny is my most recent rescue, and temporarily shares the master bedroom with me until we've worked out some disharmony problems with our alpha male cat, Jaspurr. Several years ago, I decided to implement a bit of oriental philosophy, and came up with Feng Shui for Cats for the benefit of our Bubba, then the master of our domain. The concept of Feng Shui, I learned, is to live in a balanced environment, to attain spiritual harmony with oneself and others around us, so it sounds made to order for Jenny and Jaspurr.
