Author Dusty friend explains all the signs of a haunting and offers reasons why your freind has come back.A thrilling read for the cat and ghost lovers among us, and a consolation for those who have lost a beloved pet, this collection of stories confirms that these wonderful, whiskered creatures capture our imagination as much as they do our hearts, long after they have purred their last.

Customer Reviews

Cat Readers Absolutely Should Read This
I stayed up very late finishing up this delightful book in one go. Having had some experiences of my own with ghostly cat visits, I was absolutely pleased to find out that these occurrences are not at all unheard of. The stories made me smile and laugh, and a couple even had me thinking, uh-oh, I'm going to start bawling in a minute. (To this day, even THINKING of the ending of "Where the Red Fern Grows" has me crying hysterically.) Having great-grandpa returning from beyond the grave? Horrifying (as are most family visits). But having a pet come back to you post-mortem to pursue her old routines -- quite matter-of-factly and with no particular drama -- reaffirms the great love and attachment you and she felt for each other. I'm so glad Dusty Rainbolt collected these personal accounts and published them. Let's hope she writes another volume! As you can see from all these other customer reviews, she'd find a happy audience for them.

Meow!
Cat lovers, listen up and rejoice. Meow! This book tells stories from the heart. I got a warm and fuzzy feeling from most all the stories. Yes, some are sad, a few scary, but mostly they are joyous and fasinating to read. I am not sure how I feel about the subject, but I think I have had some visits from my dearly departed and very much adored cats. They seem to love my bed at night. And, I think my Sassy has chats with our Sir Merlin who died several years ago. I enjoyed learning about the history of cats as well. Buy this book and savor the stories as I did.

Factual Encounters of the Feline Kind
This book contains many stories of experiences humans have had with felines who have passed on but still have the need to return to their owners or homes they loved. The stories should convince the skeptic and warm the hearts of cat lovers everywhere.
