Feng Shui for Cats: By Cats, for Cats

By Roni Jay

Follow the basic principles of Feng Shui given in this marvelously (and amusingly) illustrated book, written by cats and for cats! Consider this: the ch'i, or life force, affects every aspect of life, and compass directions also have great meaning. Hence the need to nap in an eastward-facing room in the morning as the sun rises. And no discerning cat wants to sleep in the space devoted to relationships (which would destroy friendships with humans and other cats) or have a litterbox in the zone reserved for wealth. Find out what changes to make in your home, and about symbolic animals, healing remedies, and the eight areas of the Pah Kwa (encompassing fame and fortune, wisdom and experience, kittens and family, relationships, new beginnings, pleasure and indulgence, and health and happiness). Your cat will thank you!

If Cats Could Read...

This is a funny, silly, tastefully illustrated hardcover book that's supposed to be a how-to addressed to cats and made to appear as if it was written by a cat itself (using phrases like "on the other paw..." and the like). For the human reader, its intention is to provide insights on understanding their pets better and create an ideal environment for them, using the principles of feng shui. It thoroughly covers all aspects of the cat's life from health, raising kittens, dealing with humans, feeding, play and sex. Cats, of course, know exactly what they need. They don't have the dexterity for decorating, though, thus still need humans to arrange the furniture and stuff. Besides, humans think that the place is theirs, when in fact, it's not. And for that, it gives the cat reader tips to show the human its rightful place in the scheme of things by taking control of their environment. Like how they can get their food bowl to the wealth area by completely refusing to eat until it is moved to where they want it to be. Kidding aside, while the book is not intended to give serious information, it is perfect for the reader who's familiar with his cat's behavior and like all cat owners, is attempting to make sense of the pet's haughty nature. The human author (credited as an "editor" of the fictional cat authors) attempts to uncover the cat's enigma by putting himself in its shoes while having a good laugh over it. Of course if cats could really read, it would probably be shaking its head at the hopelessness of human beings and eye them with pity. Perfect for bathroom reading, especially with a cat impulsively scratching your leg.
