Lessons from Stanley the Cat: The Ideal Gift for Cat Lovers

December 9, 2010 By Joi

I may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post. This costs you absolutely no extra money (of course), it simply allows me to maintain the lifestyle my cats are accustomed to!

I was recently sent a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful book to review for my websites titled Lessons from Stanley the Cat: Nine Lives of Everyday Wisdom.

This warm, funny, and very thought-provoking book was written by Jennifer Freed as a tribute to her beloved cat (a real character if there ever was one!) Stanley. Not only is the book a beautiful account of a very special little cat and the love he had for his human… and vice-versa… Lessons from Stanley the Cat: Nine Lives of Everyday Wisdom also serves as a self help and self improvement book, offering countless tips and lessons.

Lessons courtesy of Stanley!

The little book will become one of your favorites instantly – you’ll fall in love with the illustrations, the author, and most certainly Stanley.

Product Description

Seduction is just the practice of artful stretching.
Never let people know how fast you are. Appear slow in all things, and less is expected of you. When someone is on the computer too long, help them by distracting them, or walk lightly on their keyboard.
So advises Stanley, a remarkably astute cat with a keen eye for the important things in life. Perhaps you don’t have time for yoga, can’t afford therapy, or wouldn’t dare cry to mother. If so, let Stanley be your guide. Lessons from Stanley the Cat offers wise and witty maxims from Stanley himself, translated by his doting psychotherapist (human) parent, Jennifer Freed. Whether you’re a cat lover or prefer companions of the canine variety, Stanley’s warmth and insight are sure to brighten even the grayest days.

About the Author

Dr. Jennifer Freed is a psychotherapist, a radio show host, and a professor. She lives with her family in Santa Barbara, California. You can learn more about Jennifer at www.jenniferfreed.com. Tone Gellerstedt is a journalist and a graphic designer. She lives with her fiancé, Jonas, and their daughter, Lo, in Uppsala, Sweden. She works at her local paper and publishes books and artwork for her company, Artelligens.

I’d strongly urge you to buy several copies – one for yourself and one or more for the cat lovers on your gift list. This little book (costing just a little over $10) is the ideal book for a cat lover to have in their book collection. After all, we cat lovers love few things as much as fellow cat lovers – other humans who revere and love their cats as much as we do our’s.

The author of Lessons from Stanley the Cat: Nine Lives of Everyday Wisdom? Make no mistake about it, she’s our kind of people… cat people.

Click HERE right away and order your copies today. Act now and you’ll have Stanley’s lessons in time for Christmas!

MinJee

Beautiful “MinJee”
We have inside and outside cats and we love them all like family. The beauty, above, is MinJee and she is as sweet as she is gorgeous.

If the spoiled inside crew would allow it, needless to say they’d ALL be inside. As it is, our outside cats have their own custom-built wooden homes and penthouses and, yes, they are all equipped with heating pads for the cold months.

We also feed and care for feral cats. Some honor us by following us home and allowing us to give them a forever home and to, more importantly, be their forever family.
