1) Shakespeare’s Cats: The Complete Sonnets For The Literary Cat Lover contains all 154 of Shakespeare’s sonnets beautifully laid out and illustrated with cat photos on every page. Each sonnet is explained for the less scholarly reader and fun factoids about writing and Elizabethan life is a bonus. Did you know Shakespeare was a cat lover who not only mentioned cats over 40 times but originated words like caterwauling and catcall?

2) Zen Cats: Meditations for the Wise Minds of Cat Lovers contains the wisdom of Buddha in short excerpts from his religious text, the Dhammapada. In many Buddhist traditions cats are considered sacred. This book is filled with delightful images of cats on every page to help tune into your calming inner Zen.

The story of Katie and Katie Too

All my cats found me! My oldest girl’s story is very interesting. Katie Too showed up at a friend’s house in another town on the very same day that Kitty, my mother’s (formerly my grandmother’s) cat passed away at 20 years old. Kitty went home one year to the day that my brother was tragically killed from a 200 feet fall. Mom asked Kitty to please stay another year, because she couldn’t bear losing Kitty and my brother at the same time.

Kitty was a petite Russian Blue who contracted FIV. Our vet had kept her going using steroid shots and we helped her digestive system with daily tummy rubs. At one time, she had to have all her teeth pulled. Kitty had a fun thing she did with her food to keep life interesting, she wanted a buffet of four different bowls (3 canned, 1 dry) of food to chose from daily.

The anniversary of my brother’s death, Kitty went into congestive heart failure and passed away just as we got her to the vet. Then a few hours later, my friend called to tell me that a young tuxedo kitten had mysteriously walked into her house when her oldest daughter opened the door about the same time that Kitty died. That cat was Katie Too. Katie walked into their house tail straight up as if on a mission…. About two weeks later, I went down to their town to pick her up. She have been my kitty ever since… 12 years later. I should mention that Kitty used to take walks like a doggy. She also saved my Mom’s life after her back surgery was infected… Kitty would not leave Mom’s side and would lay across her back, until Mom went back to the doctor. Turned out an MRSA.
