Book Review: Purrs of Wisdom: Enlightenment, Feline Style by Ingrid King

From the publisher: Ingrid King explores our relationships with cats by combining her professional expertise with compassionate insights into how cats can inspire, soothe and even help heal us. In Purrs of Wisdom, King artfully delivers pearls of wisdom celebrating all our relationships, feline, human or otherwise. You’ll want to savor each chapter and purr-haps revisit those that strike a personal chord.

"Find joy in the simple things. A perfectly brewed cup of tea or coffee, a book I've been wanting to read, and a cat or two curled up next to me or in my lap: what more does anyone need to be content?" 

That quote pretty much sums up my philosophy of life (and this blog), so I immediately knew this would be a book to treasure.

I often read Ingrid King's writings and can't help but think she must have been a cat in a previous life. Her depth of understanding of our feline friends is quite extraordinary, and in Purrs of Wisdom, applying that knowledge to show us all how to lead a more meaningful life, is nothing short of brilliant.

I read Purrs of Wisdom in a single sitting, but marked page after page of passages that I plan to revisit. From our home lives to our work lives to the relationships that make our lives complete, we have so much to learn from these precious creatures we've chosen to share our homes with - if only we would take the time to stop and listen.

This book celebrates the bliss that comes from spending time with cats.

Purrs of Wisdom is available on Amazon today and in bookstores everywhere on June 5th.
