365 Days of Insight and Guidance for Living a Joyful Life with Your Cat
By
Kristen Hampshire, Iris Bass and Lori Paximadis
Cat Lover's Daily Companion is a unique, easy-to-use, and inspiring handbook filled with a year's worth of insight, helpful tips, and practical advice into the feline-human relationship for all cat lovers and owners. Whether you're a cat owner yourself or someone who just loves all things cat, this book will provide you with a lifetime's worth of ways to enjoy and appreciate cats, whether or not you have a house full of cats, or just a shelf full of books. The format of the book--a year-long, day-minder-type book--is not meant to be read cover to cover; rather, the book can fall open on any given day and still serve its designated purpose. Cat Lover's Devotional is completely indexed so readers in search of specific content, not just dabbling, are able to navigate it.
Kristen Hampshire is an award-winning writer, author of four outdoor design and landscaping books branded by John Deere, including Hobby Farms, and co-author of The Dog Owner's Devotional (both by Quarry Books). She has been published in more than 30 periodicals, including Ladies' Home Journal, Vogue Knitting, and Consumers Digest. Hampshire works as a freelance journalist and owns WriteHand Co. in Bay Village, Ohio.Lori Paximadis has been a professional book and journal editor for eighteen years. She and her husband currently share their home with Fiona, Spaz, and Ciara, and fondly remember Neuman.
Iris Bass is a freelance writer and editor, and the owner of Cat's Pajamas, a one-human crafts company that occasionally sells handmade cat-related items at artisan cooperatives. She is author of What's Your Opera I.Q.? (Citadel, 2000), and she brings to this book the expertise culled from five decades of living interactively with cats.

My favorite dog quote (and I still tear up when I read it):
"Not the least hard thing to bear when they go from us, these quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many years of our own lives. "
~ John Galsworthy

I'm unsure of the author of this one..... "The more people I meet, the more I love my dog."

Oh, since Alice In Wonderland is big these days, this quote came to my mind:
"You can't help that. We're all mad here."
-- The Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland
Happy creating,
