Lessons from Stanley the Cat – Win one!

Posted: 19 Dec 2010 01:04 PM PST

We recently came across this book – “Lessons from Stanley the Cat” by Jennifer Freed. It is a cute book – quick read, cute illustrations…..and really made me smile.

Here is the summary from Amazon:

Seduction is just the practice of artful stretching.
Never let people know how fast you are. Appear slow in all things, and less is expected of you. When someone is on the computer too long, help them by distracting them, or walk lightly on their keyboard.

So advises Stanley, a remarkably astute cat with a keen eye for the important things in life. Perhaps you don’t have time for yoga, can’t afford therapy, or wouldn’t dare cry to mother. If so, let Stanley be your guide. Lessons from Stanley the Cat offers wise and witty maxims from Stanley himself, translated by his doting psychotherapist (human) parent, Jennifer Freed. Whether you’re a cat lover or prefer companions of the canine variety, Stanley’s warmth and insight are sure to brighten even the grayest days.”

Our favorite part was page 35.  ” Do not be intimidated by bigger people or creatures.  Be amused by them and let them know that your curiosity is more powerful than their size.”  It had a great illustration of a big dog growling.  Very funny but touching life quotes and tips. This would make a great gift for any pet lover
