When a Cat Is Meant to Be Yours… and Tells You So Jun 17, 2019

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with a little Chicken Soup for the Soul inspiration for you from our latest bestseller, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Life Lessons from the Cat. We created this book because we learn so much from our cats—they show us how to be better humans and they teach us about resilience and fortitude and loyalty. If we rescued them, they rescue us back. And then there are the times when they just make us laugh, and it’s because of how they finagle extra privileges or how they get away with breaking our rules because they’re so cute. They’re also so independent that they’ll often choose their humans, rather than the other way around.

When the House Belongs to the Cat, Not to the Humans May 29, 2019

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with a little Chicken Soup for the Soul inspiration for you from our latest bestseller, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Life Lessons from the Cat. One of the themes that I love in this book is the independence of cats, and how determined they are to decide where they’re going to live. In fact, in some cases the cats really do seem to believe that their houses belong to them, and that the humans who live there are just tenants who are free to go or stay—it’s no matter to the cat.
