The Metaphysical Cat: Tales of Cats and Their Humans.

Hampton Roads Publishing Company, 1-Sep-01. Hardcover. Like New. Nice book! Clean pages, no marks & mild shelf wear on dustjacket. From Publishers Weekly: Anyone believing that cats live in another dimension will relish The Metaphysical Cat: Tales of Cats and Their Humans by Gerald and Loretta Hausman (authors of 1998's The Mythology of Cats). The book reveals felines' supernatural, mystical, metaphysical side, combining newspaper stories, sketches and personal anecdotes from the authors' lives to humorously yet seriously describe the mystical role that cats have in society and in history. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. From School Library Journal: A cornucopia of myth, history, feline literary references, and firsthand observations by unabashed animal lovers. The book's sweetness is balanced with facts that could be used by teens doing a project on cats or animal behavior. In spite of any of the monikers that cats have carried through the centuries (all explained by the authors), readers will simply call them special after picking up this title. The feline's place in our society, households, and psyche is thoroughly explored and dotted with drawings, resulting in a cat fancier's pleasure. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
