I\u2019ve tried to write an introduction to this review several times. Each time I rambled on and next thing I knew there would be a full page of text and I wouldn\u2019t have even given the title of the book! Let me sum up, and in doing so you\u2019ll see why I was predisposed to endless rambling. I\u2019ve known author Deborah Blake for around 10 years. In all those years Blake has always had somewhere between 4 to 6 cats. I adore Deborah Blake and refer to her as my \u201csister from another mister\u201d, and I always adore Deborah\u2019s cats (although her assorted cats have held me at varying levels of affection). I could write pages of amusing and\/or sweet stories about Deborah and her cats, but I tried that, and it didn\u2019t make for a very concise book review. I\u2019ll just tell you that there is no better qualified writer to author \u201cThe Little Book of Cat Magic: Spells, Charms, and Tales\u201d than Deborah Blake.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ Many authors have cats, but not only has Blake always had multiple cats, but for a long stretch she had an honest-to-goodness black cat familiar that went by the name, Magic the Cat, Queen of the Universe. Magic was so influential that I even interviewed her<\/a> once! When Blake writes about working magic for, and with, your cat you know she\u2019s speaking from experience. \u201cThe Little Book of Cat Magic\u201d truly encompasses all aspects of \u201ccat\u201d. The history of cats and tales (or tails, as I prefer) abound. Tips, and spells, about finding a cat, living with cats, and cat deities are discussed. There is a section about crafts and treats you can make for your cat. Also, The Magical Buffet gets name checked in the section about cat tarot decks! Just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n

And I cannot end this review without mentioning that the interior illustrations by Alice Rosen are top notch. Adorable, whimsical, magical cat illustrations run throughout the entire text.<\/p>\n

Honestly, \u201cThe Little Book of Cat Magic\u201d is for anyone<\/em> who loves cats.<\/p>\n

Now for some exciting news, we\u2019ve got a giveaway! As I said, I\u2019m friends with Deborah, so the last time I visited her she loaded me up with goodies for a giveaway, AND Llewellyn sent me a copy too! That means that we\u2019re going to have 2 winners!<\/p>\n
