If you want to be delighted, moved, and inspired, run to buy this book! And you won't find a better gift for all your cat loving friends. The Wisdom of Yo Meow Ma is engaging and entertaining, but at it's heart it is a book full of profound spiritual insight. Joanna Sandsmark is a gifted writer. Do yourself a favor and don't pass this one up.

Now we have the "proof" in this delightful volume that deserves to be on every catlover's gift list this holiday season. Not only is it beautifully presented and illustrated, but the wisdom is a treat. Written, so we're told, by Yo Meow Ma, the first of the philosopher cats, and "translated" adroitly by Joanna Sandsmark, the book provides insights into universal wisdom that resonate far beyond catkind. How to be bird-bound rather than mouse-bound, balance relationships, deal with territorial invaders, it's all here in gently feline phrasing. As Yo Meow Ma himself says, "Although rewards are sweet, sometimes it is the journey that is the true nectar." And sometimes it's in the reading about it.
