If you love cats, you don't have to explain why. You just do. You love the softness of their fur. The way they settle into your lap for a nap. The way they sit so elegantly, watching and waiting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHave You Ever Felt a Bond with a Special Cat?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHave you ever felt a connection between you and a particular cat? A connection that is beyond words, beyond logic, beyond any rational explanation. The only word for it is love.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow else can you explain what happened to Peggy Stevens when she first saw Tommy? Tommy was an unwanted cat in an adoption cage in her veterinarian's office. He was already seven years old. Too old for most people to consider adopting him. Not Peggy. She felt a special bond with Tommy. She took him home, thinking that she was giving him the gift of a good home.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDo You Believe That Humans And Cats Communicate With Each Other?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePeggy soon discovered that Tommy was a special cat with a gift of his own. He gave her sixty-nine haiku cat poems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese cat poems are not poems about cats. They are poems given by a specific cat. Peggy didn't write these cat poems as humorous commentaries on the sometimes mysterious behavior of cats. Rather this haiku cat poetry emerged from some deep bond of love between a particular cat and a particular human.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCan A Cat Really Give Haiku Cat Poems To A Human?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCat veterinarians who study feline-human relationships confirm that cats are exquisitely sensitive animals. They somehow know how much you want to interact with them and will adjust accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThey also communicate with humans. Each has its own unique method and style of communicating. Tommy somehow communicated cat poems-haiku cat poems. Why haiku? Peggy had never read haiku poetry. Yet, Tommy gave her haiku poems. Haiku is a very specific and spare form of Japanese poetry in three lines: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFive syllables in the first line\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSeven syllables in the second line\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFive syllables in the third line\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis precise and concise form of poetry was Tommy's unique means of communication. To ask how is to miss the essential point. The sixty-nine haiku cat poems in this book are a testament to the magical, mysterious, mystical connection between cats and the people who love them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHaiku Poetry in a Stressed Out World\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese haiku cat poems have another benefit. If you're like most people these days, you feel a bit stressed most of the time. Cats and haiku poetry offer a remedy. Both are minimalists. Cats use their energy sparingly. Haiku uses words sparingly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHaiku Cats: Haiku Cat Poems from a Very Mystical Cat\u003c\/i\u003e is designed with the same kind of minimalist approach. The book is designed to show one haiku at a time with no other distractions. Reading haiku is a way to slow down and savor the small things in life, one at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peggy Stevens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1495944328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781495944321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.35d","brand":"Peggy Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47039889178879,"sku":"9781495944321","price":8.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_640e4f34-b1b7-4f6c-a3ed-5119fda4b171.jpg?v=1752752878","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/haiku-cats-peggy-stevens-9781495944321","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
