Product Description
Cats have lived side by side with humans for thousands of years, but they've always been silent partners. Owners, even veterinarians, assume that they know what's best for these domestic pets, but do they? Animal communicator Kate Solisti-Mattelon explains how cats would answer such questions as What's the best way to train a cat?, Why do cats like catnip?, What is the meaning of life?, and Where do cats go when they die? Armed with a mission to help humankind lead lives of balance and love, cats offer their sometimes surprising insights.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars For the cat lovers of the world!, August 23, 2007

This review is from: Conversations with Cat: An Uncommon Catalog of Feline Wisdom (Hardcover)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Conversations With Cat, March 8, 2006

By	Vicky L. Meehan (Saint Louis, Missouri) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Conversations with Cat: An Uncommon Catalog of Feline Wisdom (Hardcover)

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!
