Book summary

Each of Coudert's seven cats inspires a separate meditation on aspects of the art of living, including topics such as unconditional love, co-dependent relationships, handling restraints equably, and being in the world instead of merely walking through it.

Media reviews

"'Seven Cats' moves beyond an oh-those-cute-animals book. Coudert offers some startling insights about human life, drawing some wonderful analogies between the various personalities of a cat...and the many analogous attitudes available to humans....Wise, touching and humorous, 'Seven Cats' charmingly chronicles the lives and lessons of these unique and fascinating felines, as seen through the eyes of a philosophical and empathetic visitor to their world."
