Author Turns Life-Long Love Affair with Cats into a Book Showing the Gifts They Provide Us
What can cats teach us about human relationships?
How can cats know what's right when we often don't?
What else can a cat provide us other than a warm body?These questions and more are answered in Cat "Tails to Soothe the Soul, a collection of humorous and poignant short stories.
Although most animal lovers consider their pets to be members of the family, Diane Dippelhofer, takes this human-feline relationship a step further and shows how our pets may understand better than we do how to live our lives with hope, love, compassion, forgiveness, understanding, and acceptance.
Using a common theme - people struggling with a major decision or a difficult situation - Dippelhofer adds a special twist to it.
The characters resolve their dilemma from the help and guidance of a cat.
"I've often wondered what my cats are thinking," Dippelhofer says.
"It's surprising the nuggets of wisdom you can learn about how to treat others by observing your pets' interactions and behaviors.
My first cat literally popped out from beneath the bushes in our backyard and ran right over to me.
She helped me deal with some issues I had as a child.
I felt such guilt when she died.
Unconditional Love, one of the stories in the book, was written with her in mind.
It was a catharsis for me when I wrote it."
From living with cats since the age of three, she was able to create believable feline behaviors in each of the cats that play such an integral part in her stories. Each cat displays a different personality, with individual characteristics and quirks.
The patient and quiet Roscoe, the curious and insightful Nosy, and the stubborn but kind-hearted Rocky are just a few of the felines you'll meet.
"Regardless whether you're a cat lover or not, anyone can relate to the messages conveyed in the book," Dippelhofer says.Cat "Tails" to Soothe the Soul was published by Publish America and can be purchased online at www.publishamerica.com.
ISBN is 1-4137-5841-X.

Birthday
The "Happy Birthday" song is perhaps one of the most recognizable songs. Although rendered in different languages, the tune is still unmistakably familiar.
Most cultures around the world celebrate birthdays. The Chinese believe that a person's luck in life is determined by his birth date ? the arrangement of astrological elements at the moment of birth will shape a person's character and personality. This is the basis for horoscope predictions.
But no matter what beliefs prevail, birthdays are occasions for family and friends to be together and celebrate a person's life.
If you are planning to give a birthday gift to a friend abroad or to a foreign business partner, you may want to consult books on customs first.
