He understood that it was his newfound owners who needed the help.Over the course of seven years, the feisty feline turned the quaint Manchester house into a loving home. Through his fierce spirit, strong will, and calming energy, Fester taught Paul and Jeremy how to listen and breathe, how to appreciate the joys of simply sitting and singing (what Fester’s purrs sounded like to his silly humans), and how to find joy and contentment in life, even when dealing with hardship.This is the true story of an extraordinary little cat whose gentle charm and trusting soul turned two young men into a family.

The day we blew up the cat: And other stories from a normal childhood (The Dad Story Project Book 1)


S. Peter Lewis - 2014
    And it makes perfect sense since each of our lives is simply a string of days earmarked by the circling sun and regular eight-hour naps—we each live just one long story.This is a book of stories: fifteen heartwarming essays that are sure to make you smile and laugh, and maybe even shed a tear or two. It’s a celebration of the notions that fatherhood and childhood are meant to be tightly stitched together, that a dad and his children really grow up together, and that wonder will be found everywhere if we just keep our eyes and hearts open. These are simple, peaceful, introspective stories that quietly proclaim the idea that growing up can be incredible and that amazement and inspiration can always be found in the simple elements of Everyday. The stories have been selected from among more than 200 that the author, Peter Lewis, originally published in his column, Views from the Uppermost House, in his hometown newspaper in rural Maine. The column won top journalism awards in Maine every year from 2006 to 2013, and is still going strong—Lewis is a grandfather now, so there is no end to the raw material for his storytelling. In the hands of Lewis, life’s seemingly ordinary things: mowing the lawn, painting a bedroom ceiling, turning around a boat trailer, sitting on a rock in the woods, standing in the middle of the road, take on a startling significance and somehow become beautifully poignant. It’s as if he really believes that everything that happens in every day can somehow be turned into wonderful.The book’s central focus is on the family, and most specifically on the relationships that a father has with his children. This is a book that will challenge fathers to see their role as not one of mere biology, not a burden to be borne grudgingly for 18 years and then discarded, but rather the greatest job they will ever have: a joyous calling that just keeps on going and earns dividends that are ultimately not tallied on any earthly balance sheets.Lewis does what the best storytellers do: he shows rather than tells. These are vivid stories that you can see and hear and touch, and in each of them you may well find yourself thinking, “Yup, that could be me.” Not always the perfect dad (or son) himself, Lewis is nonetheless able to show us that teachable moments go both ways and that great good can often be wrought from unlikely circumstances. As he once wrote: “For fifty-five years I've awakened each day as a son. And each morning for the last eleven thousand days I've climbed out from under the covers and stepped into the shoes of a father; shoes I’m not always certain I can fill. The role of son I was born to, the role of father I was called to; yet I haven’t always played either role well. I’ve often fumbled my lines, on some days I’ve forgotten them altogether, and then there are those weary times when I fear I’ve left the entire script in a bus station in Cleveland.” And while the title and the cover design might suggest silliness (and you certainly will laugh), this is a serious book about a serious subject: being the best dad you can be. Planned as the first of a six-volume series, Lewis’s book headlining an exploding cat (which walked away unscathed, by the way) is also a call to action. A simple call perhaps best summed up by the last line in the first essay about a man driving through a sleet storm to offer moral support to his son far away at college: “Sometimes being a dad means just showing up.

Parisian Cats


Olivia Snaije - 2014
    In Paris, cafés and cats go hand in paw. Far away from the famous runways in the world capital of fashion, the biggest divas in town can be found strutting their stuff down the zinc bar of many a local hot spot. This book introduces twenty of Paris’s most beloved cats as they take us for a stroll past the city’s monuments and inside the charming and quintessentially Parisian spots they call home. From her perch in an upstairs window at the legendary Shakespeare and Company bookstore, Kitty surveys the comings and goings of boats along the Seine and visitors at Notre-Dame. Swiffer at Le Café Zéphyr lures customers in from the bustle of the boulevard Hausmann to enjoy a café or glass of wine in the colonial interior. The exotic pedigreed Fa-raon at the Bristol enjoys pampering worthy of the palace hotel’s paying clientele. The feline inhabitant of the Montmartre museum not only looks like the iconic black cat from the ever-popular poster for the Chat Noir cabaret, but he was named after the nightclub’s founder Rodolphe Salis. These twenty unforgettable cats offer a unique and irresistible Parisian tour.

Dumb Bunnies and Expecting Cats


Matthew C. Moen - 2014
    The cat in need of rescue who rescues you in the process. The cat of a lifetime. This is the true story of a cat named Frodo, who chooses as her unlikely companion a struggling graduate student—a young lad from the Midwest unprepared for the steep learning curve of being adopted by a cat, but earnestly big-hearted in his willingness to learn. Frodo surprises her beloved “oaf” with a series of precariously delightful misadventures from which she requires repeated rescuing, including an unexpected and zany kitten named Brandy, a fall into motor oil, an insane mouse, and leaps onto rooftops from which she can’t get down. Frodo teaches her owner—a man immersed in the rigors of political science and the life of the mind—attentiveness to happy moments, as well as the compassionate gift of giving and receiving unconditional love. Throughout their years together, Frodo grows from a small pregnant stray with a limp waiting on the steps of a student rental in Norman, Oklahoma, into a little white princess ensconced within her very own castle on Glencove Avenue in Bangor, Maine—a tender and purring soul with a home, a man, and a family that grows up around her. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Bangor (Maine) Humane Society and the South Dakota Heartland Humane Society.

    Pet Sitting in Paradise is a hilariously sidesplitting look into the bizarre world of professional pet sitting that takes place on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. On any day she contends with toxic toads, biting 8”centipedes, and scariest of all, giving up her New York City ways. Common canine hijinks still occur with regularity including getting sprayed with anal glands or getting violently dry humped. Weirder still is being interrogated by the secret service when President Obama enjoys his yearly sojourn in her neighborhood. Throw in family dysfunction and living in a completely foreign culture and this describes Pam's life since 2001. On the positive side, what other job could she have where those in her care are so happy to see her that they pee on the floor?

Community Cats: A Journey Into the World of Feral Cats


Anne E. Beall - 2014
    Anne E. Beall’s husband’s foot outside their Chicago home. The Bealls had experienced rat problems for a long time. Then, a neighbor told them about a program called Cats at Work where one could get feral cats that would take care of the rat problem.In Community Cats, she tells how she and her husband entered the world of feral cats when they signed up for the Chicago Cats at Work program with Tree House Humane Society. Tree House practices TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return), and they trapped, neutered, and relocated a feral cat colony to Beall’s home. She narrates what she learned about the unique world of feral cats and about the people who are involved with feral cats and who advocate for them.Community Cats shares the story of what initially began as a creative solution to a rat problem and became a journey that led her to reach out to others in the feral-cat world. Beall interviewed other colony caretakers and leaders in the TNR movement and learned about how feral cats live, how they relate to one another, and how they relate to their caretakers. She also conducted survey research on American’s attitudes toward stray cats, TNR programs, and spaying/neutering.Beall learned that feral cat programs have a huge impact on the caretakers of the colonies, on the neighbors, on the community, and on the cats themselves and details those findings in Community Cats.

The Original Cat Bible: The Definitive Source for All Things Cat


Sandy Robins - 2014
    This new 500-page volume promises to be the most complete and authoritative book of its kind, authored by award-winning writer Sandy Robins with special veterinary chapters by Dr. Arnold Plotnick and an extensive breed section by Sarah Hartwell and Lorraine Shelton. The Original Cat Bible delves deeply into all things feline, from the domestication of cats and the development of pure breeds to the anatomy and genetics of felines. Between its two covers, it bequeaths a wealth of information to the cat fanciers, detailing all aspects of cat care and ownership, bejeweled with fun tidbits and trivia to entertain even the most discerning of feline lovers.The book begins with a detailed history of the modern cat, including the noble big cats of the wild and the small domesticated cats adored indoors by millions around the world. In her venture into the modern-day world of cats, the author discusses the genesis of cat welfare and rescue, as well as concerns about stray and feral cats in our communities, explaining the problems and offering practical solutions. From a more universal perspective, the text explores the feline’s place in world religions, the cat-laden folklore of Asia, Europe and North America, cats in religion, popular culture through the ages (literature, art, cartoons, and movies), and contemporary social media (YouTube, blogs, and Facebook).The Original Cat Bible discusses the development of cat breeds and the genetics of purebred cats. While the establishment of purebred cats is a fairly modern development, some breeds have existed in a “pure form” for many centuries. In order to explain the significance of specific breeds, the author describes the essential physical characteristics of the cat, including body types, coat types, colors, and patterns. Guest authors Hartwell and Shelton, both highly regarded experts in the purebred cat world, present seventy-five breeds of cat from the familiar Siamese and Persian to the lesser known Australian Mist and Pixie Bob, describing their origins, breed standards, personalities, all accompanied by dazzling color photography. The book features expansive coverage of every recognized cat breed in the world, plus many experimental and new breeds that have come and gone.Robins resumes the discussion of cat ownership, covering important topics such as finding a kitten, choosing between breeders and shelters, achieving the right feline match for your family, bringing the cat into a new home, cat-proofing and safety around the house, and shopping for supplies for the new cat (accessories ranging from litter boxes and beds to harnesses and cat trees). New owners will value the information about introducing the cat to family and other pets, the importance of selecting a qualified veterinarian, securing veterinary insurance, and establishing an immunization schedule with your vet. Information about kitten health concerns, including viral diseases and parasites, and complementary therapies and holistic medicine, diagnostic tests and new technologies available is thorough and detailed.A user-friendly, very readable chapter on grooming follows, offering advice on caring for the coats of kittens, adults and older cats, purchasing grooming tools, learning techniques, and establishing a regimen for brushing and bathing, nail, eye, ear and teeth care. The feeding chapter begins with a fascinating and entertaining history of pet food in America and then goes on to discuss such important topics as the nutritional requirements of cats at all life stages, the choice between commercial diets and natural foods, food allergies, and special care of obese and pregnant cats.In introducing the elaborate section on healthcare, renowned veterinarian Dr. Arnold Plotnick presents an overview of feline anatomy, including the basics of the body, skin, coat, ears, eyes, teeth, paws, and bodily systems. The chapter on external conditions, diseases and disorder covers over eighty specific feline diseases (categorized by anatomical region), followed by a chapters on infectious diseases and internal and external parasites; reproductive care, puberty, mating, and pregnancy; and serious life-threatening disorders (diabetes, cancer, and hyperthyroidism). A chapter on senior cats offers readers information on health issues with older cats (arthritis, cognitive dysfunction, vision and hearing loss), common behavior issues, as well grief counseling upon the loss of a beloved cat.A section on fun with cats includes the various activities and enrichment exercises owners can do with their cats, as well as cat agility and cat shows (covering both major American cat registries, the Cat Fanciers Association and The International Cat Association). Further topics in this expansive volume include traveling with cats, pet-care options for owners (kitty day care, pet sitters, and boarding), dealing with emergencies, first aid, and disaster planning, finding a lost cat, relocating with cats and preventing loss during a move.The Original Cat Bible offers the gospel on cat behavior and training, and preaches that cats can indeed be trained! The author offers a compendium on feline communication, including body language and vocalizations, and a training course that advocates socialization and positive-reinforcement training (remote control training, redirection, and clicker training). In addressing problem behaviors, the author puts forward solutions for dozens of commonly encountered nuisances, such as litter box messes, scratching, aggression, separation anxiety and pica.The final section of the book celebrates cats at work in the community, from therapy cats in nursing homes and rest-home facilities to cats working as greeters and library and book-store assistants. Readers will delight in the section about celebrity cats. Cats have made a splash working professionally as actors and models in the entertainment worlds of movies, television, and advertising. For readers wishing to work with cats themselves, the book discusses a variety of career paths as veterinarians, vet assistants, groomers, trainers and behaviorists, massage therapists, cat sitters, animal-control officers, and photographers.The book has an expansive resource section including websites, books, and periodicals, and is fully indexed.
