Cats are mysterious, mystical creatures with strange powers. They fascinate us with their behaviour, their regal bearing, and their intelligence, yet their inscrutable stare and their savage natural instincts unnerve us. D.J. Conway offers a complete look at this beguiling creature: from what it means when a cat flicks his tail at you to how you can use discarded whiskers in magical ceremonies. Explore the lore of cats great and small, and discover how other cultures have honoured cats throughout the ages.

Amazon.com Review
A playful romp through feline facts and cat tales with a dash of whisker magick, The Mysterious, Magickal Cat is the cat omnibus. Conway looks at all things feline, from cat history and anatomy to cat magick and communication, in this delightful blend of facts and entertainment. The Mysterious, Magickal Cat unravels feline interaction with humans back to the earliest parts of history, examines our view of cats over the years (both negative and positive), and shares some touching personal stories from loving cat fanciers. If you are fortunate enough to have been adopted by a cat, The Mysterious, Magickal Cat is the manual your feline friend forgot to bring along. --Brian Patterson

5.0 out of 5 stars
Delightful and fun, and very interesting....,
By mizlauren "mizlauren" (South OC Coast, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mysterious, Magickal Cat (Paperback)
I have always loved cats, and felt the magical power they possess. This fantastic book opened up worlds of knowledge concerning cats, from their history, persecution, breeds, magic, and even a chapter of cat "tails", if you know what I mean. I sped through it in two days. It has adorable pictures of cats on almost every page, and includes photos of domestic and wild cats, of every type you can imagine. Miss Conway really knows her stuff! This book is seething with info and shaped into a fun, easy reading style. It brings out a happy mood in me. Yet another splendid work of literature by DJ Conway, a Mistress of Magick!

Love cats, love this book!,
By Kashmir White (Los Angeles, California United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mysterious, Magickal Cat (Paperback)
I'm so glad someone finally wrote this book! It's all here -- history, myth, spells your kitty can help you perform, info about the different breeds, touching stories by cat "parents" whose kitties showed psychic abilities, interesting scientific facts about cat behaviour, photographs of exotic cats, folktales, cat deities, etc. Only one thing I didn't like. Was it really ncessary to tell us about cat persecutions and actually show us a picture, albeit an old one from some old horrible time, but, you know, to show us? The truth is harsh and I didn't really want to see a chapter on that in a book I love so much. But, that was only one chapter and the rest of the book is truly loveable. Thank you, DJ Conway, for writing about our furry little bundles of love :)

*Humbly worships the Ancient Ones*,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mysterious, Magickal Cat (Paperback)
One day, I won an award for my Creative Writing class since I received the highest mark, and this award was a gift certificate to buy a book at the local bookshop. Before I received the award, I found out about the Mysterious Magickal Cat, and being the world's truest and most loyalist cat lover (trust me, no one can match me *laughs*) as well as someone fascinated with magick, I did not know Cat Magick existed until I picked up a copy of D.J.'s book. My knowledge of cats and Magick have expanded, thanks to Mrs. Conway, and I would definitely want to meet her! I am presently looking for more Cat Magick spells. I am very pleased with the book, the money sure is worth it, and it is a fascinating book to read!! Where else can I find a book that is exclusively on the most beautiful, most powerful, most WONDERFUL pet on the face of this universe, the cat with mythology attached to it, along with the Ancient Egyptian magick!!!!!! Excellent job, Mrs. Conway, and I encourage you to continue!
