Fiction is like a spider's web,
attached ever so lightly perhaps,
but still attached to life at all four corners
.

Virginia Woolf

The Way of the Cat

Teaching Humans to Be

Excerpt from Chapter One: Walking Your Talk

As cats, we live "in the moment", which is something that humans are rarely able to do. Although we try to teach them by example they continue to dwell on the past and worry about the future, and no amount of catnip seems to help. Not them anyway.

We never really need to be anywhere, so wherever we are, we are there because we choose to be, just as we are who we are because we choose to be. These are some of the things we can and should teach our humans.

About the Author

Xena and her human live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Besides being an author Xena is an artist and a philosopher. She says she spends much of her day contemplating all things cat and occasionally meets with her friend Julio down by the school yard.

Reader Comments

I couldn’t let it out of my paws. This book will help so many cats help so many humans. Thank you Xena. Allie Cat

We can see the difference in our human already. She seems happier, more alive. This books is the best thing to come along since—well, since cats. Abby & Alex

I give it four paws. Felix, Ed, Human Lovers Magazine

I wasn’t familiar with Xena’s work before, but I am now and she has saved at least two of my lives by giving me more insight into helping my humans. I have shared it with so many of my friends that my copy is cat eared.
