Cat Magic: Mews, Myths, and Mystery

Mystery unfolds as Telesco paints a portrait of America's favorite pet, leading readers through a tour-de-force of the feline relationship to humans throughout history. To explore the cat's role in society is to look deeply into the metaphysical realm. Cats in symbolism, cats in myth, cats in witchcraft, cats in worship, cats in divination--it's all here, brought to life in over 100 illustrations and photographs. This is a complete cat-pendium with a list of breeds, a list of astrological descriptions, a list of colors to alter your puss's behavior, and a list of what to do for common cat ailments such as ticks or diarrhea. If you are thinking you may like the company of a kitty, Telesco even provides a spell to draw the purrfect furry friend to your door. --P. Randall Cohan
