Straight From the Cat's Meow: Hooked on a Feline: Basic Cat Care from a Different Purr-spective

Written by Yvonne DiVita
Wednesday, 07 February 2007
“And on the morning of the fifth day, God created all the other animals, leaving the entire afternoon open to focus on one extraordinary design,” so begins this fun but factual guide to cat care. Written in the ‘voice’ of Taunee, a precocious and talented cat, and illustrated throughout by Taunee’s human, Barbara Mugnolo-Williams, this humorous, no nonsense approach to cat care reveals secrets and insight – from a new purr-spective. The table of contents is inspiring, beginning with “A Cat’s Creation Story” and flowing through “On the Nature of Cats” to “Maintaining the Litter Box” (no, you don’t just dump it now and then), all the way to “Toys” and “The [dreaded?] Bath.” In the end, Taunee delights readers with an original poem – sure to ring true with every cat and cat owner out there. Illustrator and cat-lover, Barbara Mugnolo-Williams, gives Taunee free rein to tell it from the cat’s “purr-spective.” Straight from the cat’s meow, readers are taken on a delightful journey into the heart and mind of a strong-willed, independent and talkative creature who deigns to share his specie's secrets with the world. As Taunee says, on page 41, “Too many humans out there make the mistake of calling themselves – get this – ‘cat owners!’ Oh, as if!” He then goes on to reveal what he means by “catitude” on page 42, as “The natural feline mindset.” This, as readers will discover from the rest of the book, involves understanding cats who are “aloof,” and “demanding,” and “curious,” “indifferent” or “affectionate” …the list goes on, illustrated in beautiful detail by Ms. Mugnolo-Williams. According to Dr. Andrew “Andy” Fleming, a local Rochester, NY veterinarian, “Taunee has written a practical, fun and factual guide to cat care. I hope everyone who wants a kitten will read this book first.” From Marilyn Cruz, CFA, All Breeds Judge, “Delightful! Hooked on a Feline is a humorous, no nonsense approach to cat care.” And, from Houdini, one of Taunee’s housemates, “Taunee tells it like it is, even if he does try to eat all my food. I give it two paws up!” Ms. Mugnolo-Williams is happy to grant interviews, on behalf of Taunee, if accompanied by sardines or catnip. “Taunee is a proud cat,” she says, “but he’s not stupid. Free treats? Bring’em on!” WME Books, an Author Services company offers customized publishing assistance for the author in search of excellence.
