Each time I rambled on and next thing I knew there would be a full page of text and I wouldn&#8217;t have even given the title of the book! Let me sum up, and in doing so you&#8217;ll see why I was predisposed to endless rambling. I&#8217;ve 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 sister from another mister, and I always adore Deborah&#8217;s 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&#8217;t make for a very concise book review. I&#8217;ll just tell you that there is no better qualified writer to author The Little Book of Cat Magic: Spells, Charms, and Talesthan Deborah Blake.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cat-magic-cover.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"280\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-14234\" \/>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 <a href=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/?p=5066\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interviewed her<\/a> once! When Blake writes about working magic for, and with, your cat you know she&#8217;s speaking from experience. The Little Book of Cat Magictruly encompasses all aspects of cat. 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&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>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<p>Honestly, The Little Book of Cat Magicis for <em>anyone<\/em> who loves cats.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more <a href=\"http:\/\/llewellyn.com\/product.php?ean=9780738753232\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now for some exciting news, we&#8217;ve got a giveaway!
