"The Life and Love of Cats "takes us on an unforgettable journey--we travel from the homes of middle-America today, back to the demonized creatures hiding in the alleys of medieval Europe; from wild cousins on the plains of Africa to rare hybrid domestic breeds like the Savannah; and from fashionable show breeds to shelter cats lovingly rescued by volunteers. Starting with the earliest records of domestic cats 9,000 years ago in Africa and the Mediterranean and moving to the present, Lewis Blackwell weaves stories of one of humankind's closest companions with a collection of more than 100 unforgettable images. Praise for "The Life and Love of Cats: " "Fabulous felines." --"People" "As good as Blackwell's text is (and it's quite good--an approachable, informative, and appreciative study of cats of all breeds), the true appeal of the book is the stunning images." --"Publishers Weekly," starred review"" "Filled with gorgeous color photos of domestic and wild felines: Russian blues, Siamese, lions, leopards, Bengal tigers and more." --BookPage "A global tour of one of the world's most popular animals." --"The Charlotte Observer " "This is a gorgeous coffee table book" --"dooce"
When aspiring screenwriter Andrew Bloomfield moved into a bungalow in Southern California he soon discovered that he shared the property with a large colony of feral cats — untamed, uninterested in human touch, not purring pets in waiting. But after a midnight attack by predators that decimated yet another litter of kittens, Bloomfield decided to intervene. He began to name and nurse, feed and house, rescue and neuter. Drawing on his time living in Asia among spiritual teachers, he takes us on the contemplative, humorous, and poignant journey of saving these cats, only to find it was they who saved him by revealing a world of meaning beyond his unrealized Hollywood dreams.

It aligns your values to the life you want to live. It provides clarity and a pathway to get there. A journal is very personal. It's about recording and working through things that are important to you. It's about progress. It's about overcoming challenges. It's about improving your communication skills and being able to express vocally what you want from life. Writing is good for the soul no matter how you ultimately decide to get those thoughts on paper. Writing helps manage stress and keep things in perspective without all that emotion getting in the way. It helps you stay focused on the positive. The big question is why keep a journal? There are many answers to that question and many benefits to writing things down. It's about the love of the written word and trying to capture the major milestones in your life. If you love and appreciate the company of cats, you'll enjoy this love themed cat journal. Even Edgar Allen Poe had something to say about them ... "I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat." Start small. You don't have to write an entire story every day, but just a few highlights (or lowlights, if that's what the day brought). However, focus on the positive. What can be learned from the events? How can you build on those things? Always keep the future in mind. Acknowledge the setbacks. Work on a plan to reach your goals. Most of all, you need to Enjoy the Journey!

All for the love of Cats a book of many stories, poems and information about house cats was written by Harold a retired college professor and his wife Kay a master of social work, and it all began in 1993 when a stray cat named Mama Boots leads Harold and his wife Kay on a merry chase to find a litter of kittens that she has hidden deep in the woods that surrounds their cottage in the mountains of western North Carolina. At first Mama Boots, a small diminutive brown cat with white boots is fearful of people and she evades them by hiding among the trees. But after weeks of playing hide-and-seek, she accepts their gift of tuna fish but continues to lead them astray when they attempt to follow her to her lair. Then one morning as they are eating breakfast on the upper deck of their cabin, her cries of desperation beckon her to follow her to a discarded length of a metal air conditioning duct pipe that up until then, had been her secret nursery, and she peacefully watches as they place her six kittens into a carboard box and follows them into the lower story of their two-story cabin. At first, she is uneasy, and at every chance she gets, she attempts to carry a kitten back to the pipe. But soon she makes the basement their home and, within the weeks that follow Harold and Kay are able to find homes for five of her kittens and place Mama and the last kitten at a stable where she attracts the attention of the owner who allows her to ride on the seat of his tractor as he tends to the many needs of the horses. The last kitten finds a home with a young girl who works at the stable and the owner of the stable become good friends and she looks forward to a tractor ride every time it leaves the stable and, when he dies years later, she makes the tractor seat her own and whiles away her spare time resting there in the hope that one day he will return. When she finally gives up hope she is invited to live at the widow's home above the stable that has a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree view of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. Here, through large picture windows she follows the daily duties of the chipmunks and birds that live on the vast lawns and flower gardens that surround her new home. Following that Harold and Kay abandoned any other plans they may have had for their retirement and devote the next thirty years to building Catman2, a cats' only no-kill shelter without cages which saves the lives of hundreds of strays lost and abandoned cats each year and a few years later opens The American Museum of the House Cat near Sylva, North Carolina, to educate and entertain cat lovers from all over the world. This book tells the story of their cat rescues, adoptions, new poems never published before and other interesting facts about the life of the house cat. This book will become the best cat book you have ever bought and you will want to pass it down to those you love.
