Download or read book Feline Philosophy written by John Gray and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Straw Dogs, famous for his provocative critiques of scientific hubris and the delusions of progress and humanism, turns his attention to cats—and what they reveal about humans' torturous relationship to the world and to themselves. The history of philosophy has been a predictably tragic or comical succession of palliatives for human disquiet. Thinkers from Spinoza to Berdyaev have pursued the perennial questions of how to be happy, how to be good, how to be loved, and how to live in a world of change and loss. But perhaps we can learn more from cats--the animal that has most captured our imagination--than from the great thinkers of the world. In Feline Philosophy, the philosopher John Gray discovers in cats a way of living that is unburdened by anxiety and self-consciousness, showing how they embody answers to the big questions of love and attachment, mortality, morality, and the Self: Montaigne's house cat, whose un-examined life may have been the one worth living; Meo, the Vietnam War survivor with an unshakable capacity for "fearless joy"; and Colette's Saha, the feline heroine of her subversive short story "The Cat", a parable about the pitfalls of human jealousy. Exploring the nature of cats, and what we can learn from it, Gray offers a profound, thought-provoking meditation on the follies of human exceptionalism and our fundamentally vulnerable and lonely condition. He charts a path toward a life without illusions and delusions, revealing how we can endure both crisis and transformation, and adapt to a changed scene, as cats have always done.

Download or read book All My Cats written by Bohumil Hrabal and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A literary master’s story about the aggravations and great joys of cats, from “a most sophisticated novelist, with a gusting humor and a hushed tenderness of detail” (Julian Barnes) In the autumn of 1965, flush with the unexpected success of his first published books, the Czech author Bohumil Hrabal bought a cottage in Kersko. From then until his death in 1997, he divided his time between Prague and his country retreat, where he wrote and tended to a community of feral cats. Over the years, his relationship to cats grew deeper and more complex, becoming a measure of the pressures, both private and public, that impinged on his life as a writer. All My Cats, written in 1983 after a serious car accident, is a confessional memoir, the chronicle of an author who becomes overwhelmed. As he is driven to the brink of madness by the dilemmas created by his indulgent love for the animals, there are episodes of intense brutality as he controls the feline population. Yet in the end, All My Cats is a book about Hrabal’s relationship to nature, about the unlikely sources of redemption that come to him unbidden, like a gift from the cosmos—and about love.

Dogs run through these poems, so to speak. The poems span the lighthearted to the serious, from the antics of training a recalcitrant dog to the grief at a beloved dog’s death. With warmth, dignity, and quiet power, Pastan explores the many roles of these devoted animals, from household pet to Argos, Pluto, and the Dog Star. "Envoi" We’re signing up for heartbreak, We know one day we’ll rue it. But oh the way our life lights up The years a dog runs through it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cats and All About Them IT has been suggested to me by many of my catty friends that I should write a small handbook for cat fanciers. By arrangement with the Kennel Publishing Company I have been enabled to utilise the paragraphs of Practical Pussyology which have appeared during the last fifteen months in Our Cats. I have had many years' ex perience with cats and kittens, and have also a real love for them, without which I do not believe any one can be a successful breeder and exhibitor of cats. What is worth doing at all is worth doing well, and to combine profit with pleasure is a most desirable end to have in view. The object, therefore, of this little book is to assist cat lovers to become cat fanciers. I trust that it may be found helpful and instructive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Cats and All About Them: Their Varieties, Habits, and Management; And for Show, the Standard of Excellence and Beauty The following notes and illustrations of and respecting the Cat are the outcome of over fifty years' careful, thoughtful, heedful observation, much research, and not unprofitable attention to the facts and fancies of others. From a tiny child to the present, the love of Nature has been my chief delight; animals and birds have not only been objects of study, but of deep and absorbing interest. I have noted their habits, watched their ways, and found lasting pleasure in their companionship. This love of animal life and Nature, with all its moods and phases, has grown with me from childhood to manhood, and is not the least enjoyable part of my old age.

Book excerpt: "Written with admirable fullness of knowledge, is very readable....It tells all about the English wild cat, cat proverbs, cat folk-lore, all words including the word cat, the diseases of cats; signs, games, and superstitions associated with cats....It will appeal to the multitude of cat-lovers." -The Atlantic "We have before us a most interesting work, and are assured by the author that it is the outcome of over fifty years' careful and thoughtful observation, combined with much research. Mr. Weir, who certainly ought to know, tells us that the small or large dog may be regarded and petted, but is generally useless; the cat, whether a pet or not, is of service. Were it not for our cats, rats and mice would overrun our houses, buildings, and lands. If there were not millions of cats, there would be billions of vermin. The standard of excellent and beauty with respect to cats is here described." -The Journal of the Postal Microscopical Society "Mr. Weir describes the varieties with painstaking accuracy." -Daily Telegraph "Mr. Harrison Weir has written a charming book in praise of the cat. Mr. Weir undertakes to tell us 'all about them,' and of a truth he leaves little unsaid." -Daily News "Mr. Harrison Weir is one of the greatest authorities on domestic animals. For lovers of the feline tribe this volume will have especial interest." -Morning Post "Mr. Weir discourses pleasantly and learnedly about the several breeds of cats and their characteristics." -Gardeners' Chronicle "Every lover of pussy owes a deep debt of gratitude to Mr. Weir....The latest, the best, most complete, and most readable book on cats ever published." -Poultry "Mr. Weir is president of the National Cat Club of England; but before he was that, and before the club existed, he was the originator of the cat-show at the Crystal Palace, held in the summer of 1871. What they talk of at the Cat Club we may believe to be the 'points' of their pets, and the latest trick or show of wisdom in door-opening or wandering home of these same pets. This is what the book tells of. It is a gossipy book, full of stories of the doings of cats, sprinkled with descriptions of the innumerable kinds, with an account of their diseases, and ending with several chapters on trained cats, and cats that have learned to fish. The author confesses to having been won over to a love of cats from having been their hater, and writes this book that others may see the cat in all its possibilities as a useful, attractive, and affectionate domestic animal....A title well borne out by the contents, so far a much information as the ordinary reader is likely to seek is concerned." -Science
