Conversations with Cat: An Uncommon Catalog of Feline Wisdom

by Kate Solisti-Mattelon

Cats have lived side by side with humans for thousands of years, but they've always been silent partners. Owners, even veterinarians, assume that they know what's best for these domestic pets, but do they? Animal communicator Kate Solisti-Mattelon explains how cats would answer such questions as What's the best way to train a cat?, Why do cats like catnip?, What is the meaning of life?, and Where do cats go when they die? Armed with a mission to help humankind lead lives of balance and love, cats offer their sometimes surprising insights.

Reviews

[Davee Kaplan]

A breast explanation of cat body language, needs, frustrations, and desires.

[Jamie]

This is a nice little coffee table book, I suppose. It is written literally from the cat's perspective. It does provide some good insight on some subjects but the style was a bit too "cutesy" for me.

[Susan]

A bit too new-agey for me. Not what I was expecting or hoping for. Sigh.

[Dolly]

Interesting.

[Bruno]

Don't. Simply don't.
