Let's Celebrate Cats!
Let's Celebrate Cats!
Hey all you cat lovers out there... did you know that Saturday, August 8 is International Cat Day?
What better way to celebrate than reading stories from our new book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Magic of Cats.
Here is a preview of one of my favorite stories about a cat that gave its owner the courage to have an adventure - dare I say it's purr-fect!
In her story "Westward Ho" Lori Shepard realized she was not living her best life in retirement. Lori had always dreamed of taking a road trip across the United States, but when she set out on her 8,000-mile adventure, accompanied only by her cat Libby, she had second thoughts. What motivated her to keep going was Libby’s own flexibility and delight in each new hotel room and experience. Lori says that Libby’s calm presence made it work. “She was a trooper. If she could persevere through the insecurities of what came next, then I could, too.”
