Libraries strong in either popular philosophy applications or pets will find What Philosophy Can Tell You About Your Cat a winner: it analyzes the deep emotional impact on our lives cats can hold, offering vignettes ranging from insights on cat health care routines and issues to definitions of cruelty, cats in the afterlife, and more.
