It is the right time for you to order your copy to read and copies as gifts for all of your cat-obsessed friends&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a taste of what you will find in this charming book: <\/p>\n<p>Introduction<br \/>\nA cat is a cat is a cat. Or is it? Every cat I\u2019ve loved has come with at least one peculiarity distinguishing this cat from every other cat. It\u2019s these enchanting and the not so enchanting distinctions that inspired this collection of cat stories. <\/p>\n<p>Throughout the pages of this book, you\u2019ll read about clever, clumsy and quirky cats. You\u2019ll meet cats that are extraordinarily daring, incredibly spiritual and deliciously humorous. This book even features cool cats, scaredy cats, curious cats, courageous cats and un-catlike cats.<br \/>\nYou\u2019ll fall in love with Frigie Frypan, the fearless chocolate and white cowboy kitten who survived being dumped in a coyote-infested wilderness. Yet, just when he was ready to settle down with a doting family, he was catnapped. <\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll smile while reading the story of Gus, the reluctant babysitting cat. <\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll cringe at PomPom\u2019s valiant attempt to defend her injured kitten against well-meaning strangers and marvel at her sudden ability to trust one human completely.<\/p>\n<p> You\u2019ll meet an obstinate calico who responds to mind-talk, an engaging Himalayan who responds to a spiritual healing and an injured tabico kitten who responds to an outpouring of love. And then there\u2019s Sammy, the cat who changed a heart. <\/p>\n<p>Read about adventuring cats, heroic cats and mew-sical cats as well as throw-away cats who create new lives for themselves. There\u2019s also the story of four aging cats who were orphaned when their owner died unexpectedly and whose uncertain future was purr-fectly orchestrated through nothing less than divine intervention. <\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll be captivated by these stories. You\u2019ll laugh, you\u2019ll weep and you\u2019ll go hug your own cat.         <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades.html \">http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades.html <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s official.
