The Magick of Claw and Whisker

Very few animals have evoked such extremes in emotions—from admiration to fear—as the feline family. Cats are mysterious, mystical creatures who can do anything from predicting earthquakes and volcanic eruptions to reacting to haunted buildings and following the movement of things you can't see. We are fascinated by cats and their behavior, their regal bearing, and their intelligence, yet we are unnerved by their inscrutable stare and savage natural instincts.

In The Mysterious, Magickal Cat you will discover:

• The origins of cats, big and small
• Little-known details about cat anatomy and behavior
• How to read a cat's verbal and non-verbal communication
• The cat in ancient history and superstition
• Feline deities from around the world
• Sacred breeds and temple lore
• Felines in folklore, literature, and art
• Cat spells for healing animals or humans, finding a true love, attracting prosperity, seeking protection, building courage, and more
