From help with every day challenges to inspiration on living a joyful life, this compilation provides encouragement, guidance, and enlightenment, feline style. Whether it’s creating balance, navigating turbulent times, or finding the magic in life’s ordinary moments, there’s something for everyone in this book.
Chapters include:

- Routine as the Key to Happiness
- Purging Can Make You Purr
- Healthy Cats, Healthy Human
The stories may remind readers of lessons their own cats have taught them, provide “aha” moments, or simply bring a smile.
PRAISE FOR Purrs of Wisdom
“Purrs of Wisdom, by Ingrid King, is a treat for anyone who is enchanted by all things feline! The book is an exploration of lessons on living a joyful and inspired life, learned from the many magical cats who have shared the author’s journey.
I found gifts on every page, but the section titled Lessons from a Maple Tree especially touched my heart. The author talks about taking time out of her busy day to soak up the tree’s magnificent colors when the leaves change in the fall. “Doing nothing without feeling guilty” is a lesson she learned from her cats. Ingrid’s words were a gentle reminder to this fast-paced former New Yorker to look to my own kitties for guidance when my world seems to be spinning a bit too quickly.
Purrs of Wisdom is sure to be a treasured addition to any cat lover’s library!”
– Christine Davis, Author of For Every Cat An Angel and Forever Paws
***
“Reading this collection of feline-inspired essays and life lessons gave me several AHA! moments. Purrs of Wisdom is a refreshing read that packs a deceptively powerful punch and provides helpful recipes for finding your bliss. Ingrid King writes with compassion for those who struggle along as “life happens.” The gifted writer offers nearly poetic insight how to manage the angst, as well as to recognize the “why” behind such things. You’ll want to savor each individual chapter and purr-haps bookmark and revisit those that strike a personal chord. And of course, read aloud to your favorite feline companion!”
– Amy Shojai, bestselling author of more than two-dozen pet books
***
“Purrs of Wisdom is the perfect book for anyone who loves cats – and has an interest in living life to the fullest, with a positive and peaceful outlook – just like a cat does! It spoke to me on several levels and is sure to become a well-thumbed volume as I continue on my life’s journey.”
– Ann Brightman, Managing Editor, Animal Wellness Magazine
***
“In this guide to living spiritually and creatively in a world that isn’t always quite comfortable with either quality, King, a keenly intuitive writer, draws upon the lessons she has learned from her beloved feline friends, weaving them deftly together with her own experiences. ”
– T.J. Banks, Author of Sketch People: Stories Along the Way and Catsong

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!
Oh, you have a tortie! I have a new tortie too and she's just 17 weeks old. I am so in love with my feisty little Sophie. It has been way too long since my husband and I had a cat and we are having the time of our lives. She has so much personality and makes our day so happy. I feel like the best comfort one can have is to pet a cat and listen to them purr. I'm betting that doctors have shown that people's blood pressure drops when they do that.
Looking forward to reading "Purrs of Wisdom." Thanks for sharing with us today!
