Conversations with Cat: An Uncommon Catalog of Feline Wisdom [Paperback]

Kate Solisti-Mattelon (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 10, 2001

In CONVERSATIONS WITH CAT, author and animal communicator Kate Solisti-Mattelon accesses feline consciousness by posing questions to cats and receiving answers in return. These answers are not based on what human beings suppose cats are thinking. Instead Solisti-Mattelon, just as she did in CONVERSATIONS WITH DOG: AN UNCOMMON DOGALOG OF CANINE WISDOM transcribes the answers of the animals themselves. The information in CONVERSATIONS WITH CAT will touch and surprise readers with the depth of feline understanding. As conscious, feeling beings with a mission to help humankind reconnect to balanced love, cats are perhaps some of our greatest teachers.

Book Description

Cats have lived alongside humans for thousands of years, but until now, they've remained silent partners. In Conversations with Cat, professional animal communicator Kate Solisti-Mattelon poses some of life's most challenging questions to our feline friends, and the cats' responses offer surprising insights into the spiritual, physical, and mental awareness of our feline neighbors. Cat people won't be surprised to learn that by connecting with our cats and being humble enough to understand how they perceive us, we can actually learn more about ourselves and begin to model cats' examples of detached love in our human an animal relationship. In addition, Lynda Niemeier's photography captures the essence of cat, making this book the perfect gift for anyone wishing to understand more about these beautiful creatures. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

From the Publisher

Conversations with Cat contains practical information that will help cat owners solve misconceptions and correct misinformation about cats. It goes beyond the practical to provide insight into the relationship between human and cat, cat and God, and human and God. This book is as irresistible as a dear feline friend. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

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!
