Rights Holder: Editions Prisma
Original Language: French

A look at the extraordinary, even magical, power of cats to help us to understand not only why they fascinate us so much but why they are so good for us.

A number of recent studies show that people living with cats are psychologically healthier than those that don’t. Day after day, cat owners notice the power of their clawed companions without being able to explain it. This book will help you understand everything about the power of cats.

Isabelle Collins first offers a history of the cat and the various superstitions that have been tied to for centuries and then takes a more practical approach as to why cats are so important to humans.

Purr Therapy has become more common because listening this soft sound leads to a production of serotonin, the happiness hormone which plays an integral role in the quality of our sleep and our mood.

Thanks to the presence of cat in their offices, certain therapists manage to put people with problems in a more reassuring climate. The nursing homes, schools and hospitals that have adopted cats to create social connections and to calm stressful environments are too numerous to count

And cats have other powers too: it can teach us patience, when to let go and even independence.

Isabelle Collin is a pet expert and the author of nearly twenty books on cats including 1001 Secrets de chats, Comment plaire à votre chat and Zen comme mon chat. She also edited a list of books called « L’Amour des chats » at éditions Atlas.
