Don't Let This Happen to Your Cat

A public service announcement.

Have you ever been tempted to shave your cat's fur into a lion's mane? Is part of you curious if Mr. Whiskers could rock a gold hoop earring? Are you not horrified by the words "cat perm?" Whatever you're thinking that could mess with your cat's appearance -- don't do it!

Cats are dignified, classy creatures. They should not be subject to the shame and humiliation of other cats laughing at them because you think their new look is "cute." Purple-dyed fur? No. Cat booties? No. Fuzzy cat-sized alligator costume? Only on Halloween and at no other time. Don't be part of the cat embarrassment problem. Be part of the solution. And for goodness sake, put the tiny overalls away.

The Santa Monica Mirror / Westside Today published a nice article about my book, my cat, and even me. It was especially cool that it made into the print edition. Here's an excerpt:

"When Shelly was first introduced to the Santa Monica apartment Feig now shares with Current, she was terrified, and hid in the bathroom behind the toilet for an hour. She began to overcome her fear and make herself comfortable with other parts of the apartment room by room. Feig’s takeaway? Conquer your fears one step at a time."

More Reviews -- Library of Cats and Lora's Rants and Raves

More book reviews are trickling in. This one is from Library of Cats:

"Overall, this book is really smart, well-written, and made me laugh-out-loud quite a lot. And even though I’m only a cat, I found quite a bit of valuable information that can be applied to my humans’ lives."

Yep, it was written by a cat. Specifically, Jack the cat. Here's the full review.

Lora's Rants and Reviews was also kind enough to write a review. A sampling:

"It's a very good source of advice about life and how to be a good person as well as a happy one. Many of the stories about his little cat, Shelley, made me laugh and appreciate how co-operative my own cats are!"

4th of July Cat Safety Tips

Independence Day is a lot of fun for humans, but not so much for cats. My cat is always terrified on the 4th of July. She'll stake out a nice, quiet spot in the closet to shield herself (or attempt to shield herself) from all the noisy fireworks outside.

Here are some great tips to help keep your cat comfortable and safe on July 4th, courtesy of CatBehaviorAssociates.com

Review from TheCatSite.com

The folks at TheCatSite.com reviewed How My Cat Made Me a Better Man and thoroughly enjoyed it. Here's an excerpt from their review:

"Under the guise of a "pet book," Jeremy Feig has written an excellent "self-help book." Yeah, it's that good. In fact, it should be issued to ever high school senior, boys AND girls. There is enough good information here that there's not even a good reason to pretend it's something else."
