THE SILENT COMPANION: HOW A CAT HEALS THE SOUL

No guests may come to your home, but she is always there to greet you at the door. A cat does not speak, yet somehow understands how you feel. Her movements are graceful, her gaze profound, and her presence a silent conversation with your soul. A cat is the calm breath of nature, brought into your home when your spirit needs peace the most.
