The spirit of cats........Unleashed

Most cat owners sense that in some indescribable way cats are special. Georgie Geyer has captured not only the special nature of cats but also the special relationship that exists between cats and their owners. When we, as humans, take the time to understand our pets as an expression of Spirit....we raise the vibration of our own lives as well as those of our pets. This book about one woman's journey with cats will inspire many other jouneys by many other pet owners. I provide bio-energetic balancing and vibrational remedies for pets and their humans and the spiritual nature of these pets and their ability to teach us never ceases to amaze me.

When Cats Reigned Line Kings: On the Trail of the Sacred Cats

I do not know if it was because I am a cat lover, but I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in history. Ms. Geyer is an interesting author and has written a real page-turner. I thank her for making information which could have been dull bright and interesting. I now know more about the origins of my own beloved cats.

A fascinating read!

Back in November, I read an excerpt of this book in Geyer's column and thought: I've got to get this!! This book is well-written, and hooked me right from the beginning. Geyer's interest in the human-cat relationship takes her and you the reader to Egypt, Burma, Japan, and Thailand, plus her descriptions of the main cat breeds is helpful and informative. There are two sections of pictures, one section showing her own two cats the late great Pasha and her current cat, Nikko, as well as photos from her various travels. The second set shows the breeds of cats discussed in part two and all have a high 'aawwww' factor. Plus there is an appendix chronicling the evolution of the human-cat relationship throughout the world. All in all a great read!
