A morning kiss, a discreet
touch of his nose landing
somewhere on the middle
of my face.
Because his long white
whiskers tickled,
I began every day laughing.

'Cats make one of the most satisfying sounds in the world: they purr
... A purring cat is a form of high praise, like a gold star on a test
paper. It is reinforcement of something we would all like to believe
about ourselves - that we are nice.' - Roger A Caras
"Of all the [cat] toys available, none is better designed than the
owner himself. A large multipurpose plaything, its parts can be made to
move in almost any direction. It comes completely assembled, and it
makes a noise when you jump on it." -- Stephen Baker
Garfield: 28.03.86 - 12.06.06

ANGEL CATS: Divine Messengers
of Comfort
by Allen and Linda
Anderson
ANGEL CATS: Divine
Messengers of Comfort by Allen and Linda Anderson is a beautifully crafted book
containing individual anecdotes regarding the relationship between cats and
their humans.
I loved this book
purely and simply because it proved, what I’ve felt I’ve known all along, that
cats ARE, indeed, furry angels and that their time here on this earth with us
bumbling stupid humans, is time well spent. We humans are by far the richer for
having cats in our lives than if we chose not to.
Many of the stories
are from people who write to say how cats have saved their lives, or that their
cat has taught them something valuable that they wouldn’t have otherwise learnt.
Even if a cat’s time with its human family is short, there is always a lesson to
be learned somewhere. I already had one of the stories in the AMAZING CATS
section which is part of CAT CHAT on the website. You can read it here:
http://www.thedailymews.com/catchat/4leggedheartspecialists.htm
It just goes to
prove that cats are intuitive and instinctive when it comes to knowing how we,
their human slave, tick. Thank goodness they do know us better than we know
ourselves – many of the cats in these stories have done amazing or incredible
things.
One of my favourite
anecdotes is called ‘The Man who got his purr back’. I have been graciously
given permission to publish this excerpt on the website and you can reach it via
the link at the end of this review.
At the end of each
story is a Meditation Point. It’s worth reading and reflecting upon these
because we humans are often in such a hurry to get through our day with all its
schedules and routines that we forget the more important things in life. These
Meditation Points just rein us back gently and help us to focus on the purer,
simpler ways of living.
Allen and Linda
Anderson have written several other books in their ‘Angel’ series and they have
a wonderful website called:
www.angelanimals.com where you can sign up for their free weekly newsletter.
Published by New
World Library (www.newworldlibrary.com)
in Novato, California, it’s available in paperback priced $12.95. The ISBN is:
1-57731-448-4

A
Cat's Prayer'
Lead me down all the right paths,
Keep me from fleas, bees, and baths.
Let me in should it storm,
Keep me safe, fed, and warm.
Let the sun shine where I lay,
Keep me young so I may play.
And most of all ...
Bless the people I adore,
And guard me from the dog next door.
Lisa Malone
