From the Back Cover

People who have spent a lifetime observing and interacting with cats will say that these amazing animals seem to possess powers - supernatural, psychic, or otherwise - that we can only begin to comprehend. But are they able to return from the grave as well?
In Ghost Cats, the strangely heartwarming tales of cats who have refused to let death part them from their human companions are recounted in vivid and captivating detail. From the chilling "Demon Cat of the Nation's Capitol" to the delightful "Phantom Litter Box" to the touching "Poor Puss" of Stonehenge, there's a plethora of phantasms here for everyone. And what if you receive bedtime visitations from your very own dearly departed kitty? 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.

Spectral felines5
If you're looking for ghost stories of the creepy things-that-go-bump-in-the-night variety, then Dusty Rainbolt's GHOST CATS is not for you. Things feline do go bump in the night in the true accounts in this book, but they do so in the most loving, heart-felt way imaginable -- proof positive that the heart that is loved does indeed remember. There's Tigger, the orange tomcat who spends his afterlife patrolling his owners' house, jumping up on their beds and rubbing his whiskers against their faces. There are the cats who flit in and out of sight at the 100-year-old house of the vet who treated them in this life. And there are Kochka, Omar, Sooz, and a slew of other feline ghosts who stopped back one last time to let their grieving owners know they were OK. Yes, this is a book you can't put down, but it's also one that you'll find yourself picking up time and again to remind yourself that "[t]his world is not conclusion." Far from it, as the cats in this book go to show.

Intriguing, inspiring, and comforting5
"Ghost Cats" chronicles numerous paranormal encounters of the feline kind, but the author reveals as much about the power of the heart as she does about the power of the spirit. The book is well-written, well-researched, and a complete joy to read.

Heartwarming stories about cats and the people who love them5
I loved this book and the stories in them. These stories are true, or at least one is true and I know this because my story is one of them. I could not put this book down once I started it--the people and the cats are wonderful, the names are wonderful, the almost-always sweet encounters between people and cat spirits are wonderful. And I needed to read this book because last October my two dear cats, Huckleberry and Scamper, disappeared within 8 days of each other (displaced suburban coyotes being the most likely culprits). I was still grieving when I read this book and I often found myself teary-eyed and sniffling as I read the different heartwarming stories. But by the end, I was on my way to accepting their deaths and believing that they are still out there, somewhere in the great beyond, loving and being loved. Whether you love ghost stories or cat stories (or now, a combination of both), you'll find GHOST CATS a treasure to read. It's a keeper.
