Download or read book Black Cats and Evil Eyes written by Chloe Rhodes and published by Michael O'Mara. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection investigates the origins of our most intriguing old-fashioned superstitions, many of which we still find ourselves abiding by today. Hundreds of the beliefs passed down through the generations have their foundations in our ancestors' efforts to ward off evil, which they blamed for hardship, illness and injustice in times when life was, as often as not, 'nasty, brutish and short'. Black Cats and Evil Eyes sets these superstitions in their historical and social context, explaining how fear of the Devil, demons, evil spirits and witchcraft drove people to arm themselves with rituals and talismans to repel dark forces and allow them to live long and healthy lives. In examining many of our common superstitions, this book illuminates the customs, beliefs and practices that link us to an ancient, and often darker, human past.

Download or read book In the Cat s Eyes written by Andrea Melchiori and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-07 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please meet Si, the cat. This book is the story of a cat's journey from Ann Arbor, Michigan, to Los Angeles, California. The 2, 200 mile journey is written from Si's perspective, including the interaction with his owner. Now deceased, Si was a twelve-year-old blue-point Siamese cat. He was playful, stubborn, smart, and talked a lot, and sometimes even a little bit like us two-legged creatures. Si had two favorite ways to pass his days, to sleep and to spend as much time with his human friend when she was home. His human friend's name is Andrea. Sometimes Si would love to check out what Andrea was doing, even if that meant opening the blinds with his paws to see what was happening on the other side. Another activity Si loved was to travel in the car even though he really disliked the long hours. Looking out the windows he wondered what was ahead, what came next, and his human friend could observe that intense attention paid by her cat to the changing scenery. Indeed, Si trusted his owner with everything to keep him safe. Cats quite possibly have an inner voice that speaks to them just like human voices speak to us. These voices could propel them into action, what to do next, when to eat, where to sleep and perhaps even what toys to play with. Si oftentimes made such decisions (or so it seemed to his human friend): whether to bug her for playtime or to come running when he heard the car keys jingling. This book is about one of Si's adventures, an activity that started when his human friend Andrea grabbed those car keys for a long trip across the Unites States.

Download or read book We Are the Cat written by Terry Bain and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2006 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you wonder what your cat is thinking while stalking the tablecloth fringe or racing through the living room on clearly important but ultimately mysterious business? As a mere human being, or “Lap” as they call our kind, you might never guess the complexities of the feline mind. But fear not, dear reader, you are about to be taken into the confidence of a cat. The Door “When we are inside the house we are often thinking of the outside, of how many cats may be walking through our yard, sitting on our fences, leaving scentmarkings for us to find. So we go to the door and wait at the door and wonder, again, what on earth is the purpose of the door.” A Paper Bag “We have spent many hours attempting to discover the secrets of the paper bag, to no avail. Even when we surprise it, leaping from a high place, the paper bag acts exactly the same way, and we find no creature inside. How does that work? By what physical laws does it operate? It is a mystery. And we do love a good mystery. Just not at our expense.” In the Sink “We do not understand or appreciate your fascination with our occupation of the sink portion of the household. The reasons we are here, in the sink—despite the risk of wetness—are obvious, are they not? The sink is cooler than most places in the house. The coolness from the sink surrounds us as no other coolness can surround us. If there was a sink Out of Doors, that would be one less reason for us to come home at night. But there isn’t a sink Out of Doors. So here we are. In the sink. Trying to sleep. Just a nap, you know.” Hilarious and clever, silly yet profound, We Are the Cat brings you into the inner life of cats, revealing the many joys hidden in a piece of string, the deliciousness of sleeping in a sink or in the sunshine, the endless mystery of what is on the other side of the door, and what our cats really see as they observe us from their perches. A NOTE FROM AUTHOR TERRY BAIN’S CAT Dear Reader, When we first heard that the “author” of this book—or, as we sometimes refer to him, Scratch—was writing about us, we were nonplussed. But then we gave it some thought. Some timely and careful consideration. And we have come to the following conclusion: We are not inclined to allow him to write a book about us. We have been watching him, and reading what he’s written so far—the book about dogs and such, with references to us scattered about—and we do not entirely approve. (We also would ask why on earth he would choose to write about dogs before writing about cats. This we feel speaks directly to his character, and we therefore must assume that he is more seriously flawed than we previously thought. So, no, he should not write this book.) It isn’t that we don’t agree with much of what he has written about dogs (though what we have read makes little sense to us. We understand “reading,” and “language,” but the sense it makes is much like dogs themselves—that is, not much sense at all). We would hope that should he write a book about us that we will not be made the butt of his jokes. We are in favor of people knowing us better so as to leave us alone more often (when we want to be left alone), or to appreciate us as they should (when we want to be appreciated). But we are not in favor of a book that does not take us seriously, or that paints a picture of us that is untoward, or that is otherwise not written by a cat. He is not a cat and therefore should not be allowed to write such a book, no matter how seriously he writes about us, no matter how catlike he seems to be at times (or doglike, as it were, which we think should disqualify him altogether). We do not wish him to speak for us. We will speak for ourselves. Kind regards, Swiper

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To tourists, bay-windowed Victorian mansions are quaint, peaceful symbols of old San Francisco, but on the secluded hill above Steiner Street, the gingerbread has sparked a bitter battle. Ambitious developers are pushing for restoration, and residents are fighting for their homes—until a controversial restorationist is found dead on the job, awash in garish house paint. Private investigator Sharon McCone is called in only to discover a second bitter feud, this time between the developers and members of the city's powerful architectural community. As workmen rip through layers of drywall plaster, and wallpaper, McCone unearths an older crime: a cache of stolen antiques comes to light, and a missing one-of-a-kind Tiffany lamp emblazoned with the glowing profile of the Cheshire Cat becomes McCone's most important clue. To catch a killer, she must follow its eerie, knowing grin before its hidden eye foresees a fatal future.
