Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Blackcat" had survived in a heavily forested area of the Pacific Northwest for some years, according to local residents who had noticed him occasionally venturing out into a clearing to bask in some rare rays of sunshine. He would flee if anyone approached, and it was obvious that he had never known the touch of a human hand, or even been close enough to know human voices. Coyotes lay in wait for him, and as he grew older the time would come when he would not be able to move fast enough to escape, destined to become part of the food chain. Cat lovers everywhere likely know of feral cats in their neighborhood but sadly, most people don't know how to deal with the problem. And no, even a formerly homeless kitty does not have to be subjected to the inhumane practice of "declawing." With a little training, (using a plant misting bottle of water if they attempt to scratch furniture, etc.), together with a good scratching post such as the cardboard, "alpine" type, cats soon learn where to scratch and what places to avoid.This kitty autobiography was written partly to chronicle the life of a little homeless cat who was lucky enough to become a special member of a human family, but also to carry some important messages that need to reach pet lovers everywhere. According to HSUS, approximately four million cats and dogs are euthanized annually in the United States. About one every eight seconds. Spaying/Neutering is essential if every domestic animal is to have a home. Secondly, we should be adopting our pets from shelters rather than breeders to try to reduce overpopulation. Thirdly, there is a world-wide misconception about "feral" cats - they are not necessarily "wild", and as in the case of "Blackcat", these kitties are only a generation away from the lap kitty who has always known human contact. In many cases, with loving patience they can be "turned," only to become amazing pets. Where "Blackcat's" autobiography is donated to shelters, total costs of production will be borne by the author - in other cases, royalties will be donated to animal charities.

Download or read book Zero Dark Thirty written by Misty Bridges-Vaverka and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a small, black American cat who started a revolution!Once, there was a small, black cat who was born with a misaligned jaw. This caused his tongue to stick out and made him drool more than your average cat. Because of this, he found himself dumped in the 'boonies' on the outskirts of a small town in Oklahoma.Fortunately for him, the area in which he was dumped was patrolled by a feral cat, Edward Enigma, who knew where good food and good homes could be found. He introduced this lonely, frightened little cat to Misty and her family and, before long, the legend that was Zero Dark Thirty began! Before long, he found himself welcomed into a large furry family, and found a new role for himself. Zero and his new Mom posted regularly on the Cat House on the Kings Facebook page and made friends all over the world, as his posts caused people to giggle and laugh, and these posts have come together to create much of the material for this book.Our aim, as authors, is to continue Zero's revolution by making people more aware of the plight of many animals out there - those who are dumped or rejected for whatever reason; to show that there is no good reason for anyone to just dump an animal and that there is always an alternative; to show the importance of T.N.R. (trap, neuter and release) for feral animals; and to show that every animal has something to give to a human family.

Download or read book Cat Call written by Kristen J. Sollee and published by Weiser Books. This book was released on 2019-09 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interweaving historical research, pop culture, and original interviews, Kristen Sollée reclaims the cat archetype as a source of feminine identify and sexual power. This is a wide-ranging feminist exploration of the car archetype in myth and magic. The author takes the reader on a romp through feline myth and lore and examines the many ways in which men and women have talked and thought about cats since the dawn of time. Among the chapters are: The Cat Lady (Crazy, Sexy, Queer) The Black Cat Shapeshifters, Tricksters, and Femme Fatales Pussy Hats and Homocats Hello Kitty and the Cult of Cute From the "crazy cat lady" unbowed by patriarchal prescriptions to the coveted sex kitten to the dreadful crone and her yowling compatriot, feminine feline archetypes reveal the ways in which women have been revered and reviled around the world - in Greek and Egyptian mythology, the European witch trials, Japanese folklore, and contemporary film. By combining historical research, pop culture, art analyses, and original interviews, Cat Call explores the cat and its indivisible connection to femininity and teases out how this connection can help us better understand the relationship between myth, history, magic, womanhood in the digital age, and our beloved, clawed companions. Cat Call is a must read for millennial women, queer fold, feminists, witchy femmes, and cat lovers of all stripes. "Just like a cat itself, Sollée has eyes that see the dark corners of civilization others miss. In Cat Call, Sollée uses the cat to claw open aspects of humanity others are too scared to investigate, from kink, to feminist politics, to viral feline stars that demonstrate the cat is still worshipped by humans from all walks of life. She flips the cat call on itself by dismantling patriarchal uses of the feline to discredit the intimidating power of the pussy while gifting us with a book that leaves you eager to embrace your personal cat power." - Sophie Saint Thomas, sex writer, witch, and author of Finding Your Higher Self: Your Guide to Cannabis for Self-Care
Download or read book Black Cat Bone written by John Burnside and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of both the T. S. Eliot Prize and the Forward Prize, Black Cat Bone is the first American publication of the poetry of John Burnside Before the songs I sang there were the songs they came from, patent shreds of Babel, and the secret Nineveh of back rooms in the dark. Hour after hour the night trains blundered through from towns so far away and innocent that everything I knew seemed fictional: —from "Death Room Blues" John Burnside's Black Cat Bone is full of poems of thwarted love and disappointment, raw desire, the stalking beast. One sequence tells of an obsessive lover coming to grief in echoes of the old murder ballads, and another longer poem describes a hunter losing himself in the woods while pursuing an unknown and possibly unknowable quarry. Black Cat Bone introduces American readers to one of the best poets writing across the Atlantic.
