Cats and women share many traits: beauty, elegance, sensitivity,
affectionate natures, a knack for nurturing and a love of the
luxurious. Cats also embody the feminine dark side, with a tendency
towards neurosis and fear of change. Then there are the qualities
that cats possess which women long to emulate: fighting fiercely to
protect themselves, never saying yes when they mean no, and being
unafraid to claim the best seat in the house. Cats are loyal to
those who love them but couldn't give a toss about what others
think. They don't suffer self-esteem issues or worry if they're
overweight. And then there is that enviable air of mystery, that
slinky walk . . . oh to be a cat! They're the ultimate totem of
female strength. Belinda Alexandra, writer and ardent cat lover,
makes no apology for celebrating the special bond between women and
their cats. In The Divine Feline, she shares her own experiences
with cats, describes the relationship between women and cats
throughout history and solves behavioural and philosophical issues
in a whimsical and practical way. Viva la cat lady!
