More About This Book

Overview

People who have spent a lifetime observing and interacting with cats will say that these amazing animals seem to possess powers - supernatural, psychic, or otherwise - that we can only begin to comprehend. But are they able to return from the grave as well?

In Ghost Cats, the strangely heartwarming tales of cats who have refused to let death part them from their human companions are recounted in vivid and captivating detail. From the chilling "Demon Cat of the Nation's Capitol" to the delightful "Phantom Litter Box" to the touching "Poor Puss" of Stonehenge, there's a plethora of phantasms here for everyone. And what if you receive bedtime visitations from your very own dearly departed kitty? Author Dusty friend explains all the signs of a haunting and offers reasons why your freind has come back.

A thrilling read for the cat and ghost lovers among us, and a consolation for those who have lost a beloved pet, this collection of stories confirms that these wonderful, whiskered creatures capture our imagination as much as they do our hearts, long after they have purred their last.

    Pet Grief helped by this book!

    When my cat died, I had some unusual occurances happen. Besides dealing with the grief I felt, I was confused by spiritual happenenings. I much wanted to believe I'd see my dear pet again on the Other Side. I bought this book because it seemed just what I might need to read! I basically sat down and devoured the book in 2 days. It EXCEEDED my expectations. The stories were facinateing, and it was well written---in fact the author seemed like a friend telling me about these things! I felt so much better after reading the book! I now know I'll deffinately see my dear pet on the Other Side, and that he sometimes stops by to check on me as well! If you have lost a pet--do yourself a favor and get this book! If you have a friend who has lost one, give them this book! It is a wonderful and magical read! I Highly reccomend it!

    Awesome!

    Ghost Cats is fabulous! A must read for ailurophiles and ghost lovers alike! Check out the story, 'Scamper's Spector,' it shows how some ghosts interact with living cats and humans. A great book fo stories and a musts for any who have lost a loved companion. Very healing, entertaining and thought-provoking.

    This is a book I would recommend to anybody!

    I liked reading this book because there were many instances of seeing a ghost cat under different circumstances. From being a warning, to just saying goodbye, this was a good read from beginning to end. It was comforting also to know I was not the only one to have such an experience, that our animals friends do communicate with us while on this earth and also when departed.
