Cats and women share many traits: beauty, elegance, sensitivity, affectionate natures, a knack for nurturing and a love of the luxurious. Then there are the qualities cats possess that 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 their air of mystery, that slinky walk … oh to be a cat! Belinda Alexandra, writer and ardent cat lover, makes no apology for celebrating the bond between women and their cats. In The Divine Feline, she shares her own experiences, looks back at the relationship between women and cats throughout history and solves behavioural questions in a whimsical and practical way. Viva la cat lady!
