Synopsis

'Regal: An Intimate View of One Magnificent Feline' is the heartwarming, humorous, true story of a stray cat named Regal who is reluctantly adopted by Linda, a school counselor. Regal's antics make this cat a force to reckon with, and Linda admires her spunk and strength. When Regal becomes terminally ill, the depth of Linda's love for Regal takes center stage. Always light and frequently funny, this story of cat and owner communication shows Linda discovering a different kind of listening that melts her heart and expands her compassion for animals. This beautiful 6 x 6 inch gift book, filled with charming photographs of Regal the Cat, shows how the healing art of Reiki, the soothing effects of meditation, knowledge of Ayurvedic principles, and awareness of animal communication can transform our relationships with our cats (and with all pets) to one of consciousness and creative listening. More than just a sweet cat story, 'Regal: An Intimate View...' raises awareness about the inner lives of our domestic animals. It reveals the consciousness, feelings, intelligence, and spiritual nature of all animals. Through the story of Regal and Linda, and the people and pets they encounter, the reader discovers new possibilities for relating to and caring for a pet with greater awareness and compasson. CatAcumen Press' 'Regal' will appeal to lovers of cats in particular, while raising awareness about the new ways we can attend to the hearts and minds of all animals. Regal really speaks to 'EveryPet'.

About this title

About the Author

Being educated as an elementary school counselor, I certainly was aware of the multitude and intensity of human feelings and, being an animal person, have thoroughly enjoyed the presence of animals all through my life. I was aware that animals had feelings, too, but I didn't give them much thought. I just responded naturally to whatever surfaced in my pet's behavior, and that was as far as my animal sensitivity went. Meeting and getting to know my cat, Regal, was a real eye-opener. A force of nature, to be sure, Regal helped me grow in awareness of the depth of her feelings and her personality. She was a cat, yes, but an individual - one of a kind! As I came to understand Regal better, I felt more able to connect with all animals. Even the process of writing Regal's story has been an extraordinary experience of transformation. My attempt to do justice to this magnificent feline has taken me well beyond my limits, into a deepter understanding of animals as unique spiritual beings. May you enjoy getting to know Regal. It is an honor for me to share our story with you. Linda Fortune, Ed.D. Education: Doctorate of Education from Washington State University.
