Cat people will chuckle at the cats’ sometimes wry but tremendously touching answers to questions regarding matters practical and profound, such as:

Why do you deliberately sit on the laps of guests who "hate" cats?
Because it’s fun to make them squirm.

What is the most important thing we can learn from cat?
Detached love.

Why do so many of you go off by yourselves to die?
Dying is a dance, and God is our partner.

This is not a cat-care manual. It is a tool for understanding. The cats in your life can be valuable teachers, especially if you can begin to follow their example of detached love in your human and animal relationships.

Conversations with Cat is filled with inspiration and feline wisdom that provides answers on how you can enhance your intimate connection with these beautiful creatures. It is a must-read for anyone who enjoys life in the company of cats.

As a cat lover myself, I have marveled at the ways of cats and how they seem to instinctively know what I'm thinking and how I'm feeling. This fact alone was enough to draw me to this book. The other draw was that the picture on the front of the book looks exactly like my best friend of 17 years, Spike, who I lost just a couple of years ago. How could I not read it with him looking at me!!

"Conversations with Cat, an uncommon catalog of feline wisdom" was a quick read. This book is full of questions cat fanciers are curious about. Self described professional animal communicator, Kate Solisti-Mattelon poses the question, "What is it about this little animal that brings out such extreme emotions in human beings?" referring to cats who, throughout history, have inspired artists, writers, poets, and composers alike.

The answers, some humorous especially for those of us who are owned by a cat (or three), others informative, are provided by the "Council of Felines" to the author, through what she describes as a "higher group of consciousness of all cats" so that she gets the big picture as opposed to individual feline opinions. She receives these answers in the form of a spiritual connection, or "divine Consciousness" she describes as a language of the heart. Kate describes herself as a vehicle for this information.

"Conversations with Cat" took me less than a day to read. I found it entertaining as well as informative, though it left me wanting more. The information was interesting, but I felt as if I already knew most of it .... but then I've been having my own conversations with the cats who have owned me since I was a young girl - mostly one sided! I did have all three of my cats sitting at a distance, watching me read this book. I think they approved!

I recommend this book to all cat lovers. It is one that fits in proudly with the rest of my cat book collection!

Cat lovers everywhere need to know the answers found in this delightful read. Our felines themselves responde to our most common questions about why they do what they do through Kate's master interpretation of their thoughts. Their responses resonated true in my heart; and each time I picked up the book, my own sweet cat was in my face purring his approval at my choice of reading! Well worth buying!
