Cats

Talk2theAnimals Weekly Book Discovery

by Janet on August 18, 2010

Choosing to Be: Lessons in Living from a Feline Zen Master by Kat Tansey is a moving and inspiring book about how her two cats helped her journey from severe physical and emotional problems to the world of wellness. In listening to their wisdom, Kat discovered the world of meditation and learning to be. Kat’s story is filled with humor and tears, as well as a world of cat-wisdom that is open to those of us who are willing to listen.

“Before you make a choice you cannot undo,” says Poohbear Decagoonacoon, “you need to understand the nature of your own mind. Whether you are a human or a cat, the same technique applies. You must learn to sit and meditate. And I happen to know more than a little bit about this,” he observed, making a point of sitting down and tucking both paws under his chest in his Buddha pose.

You will be able to hear Kat tell her own story tomorrow, 8/19 at 1PM CST on Talk2theAnimalsRadio.  If you are unable to tune in live, the show will be available for download at Talk2theAnimalsRadio under ‘on demand episodes’ or from iTunes. Tune in, read the book, learn to ‘just be’……Let Poohbear guide you!

Harmony,

Janet Roper

Cats and Mysteries

March 29, 2009

Everyone knows that cats are mysterious creatures: they do things their own way, in their own time, and for their own reasons.  Even one of my vets admits that cats can be puzzling.  As he says, “It’s a cat…go figure.”
Author Rita Mae Brown has used this mysterious nature of cats to her advantage.  She has [...]
