Spook-tacular New Book: Ghost Cats 2 by Dusty Rainbolt

by Amy Shojai | Oct 5, 2022 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

I’m honored to share information about my colleague and good friend Dusty Rainbolt’s latest book release, Ghost Cats 2. If you follow my blog, you know that I’ve covered ghostly pet encounters before when Bravo-Dawg came back.

But Dusty takes it to a whole new level with this fun collection of spirited feline encounters. She’s repeating the success of her first collection (Ghost Cats: Human Encounters with Feline Spirits) with this new edition, right in time for Halloween celebrations! She sent me a review copy (SQUEEE!) and it’s shivery-good. I couldn’t wait to share the info about this title with y’all.

GHOST CATS 2: MORE AFTERLIFE ENCOUNTERS WITH FELINE SPIRITS

Cats are notorious for not being able to make up their minds. And the phantom felines in Ghost Cats 2 prove that, whether they have a heartbeat or not, cats are always on the wrong side of every door—even the Pearly Gates. Award-winning journalist Dusty Rainbolt has assembled this second volume of previously unpublished eyewitness accounts that provide haunting yet entertaining hints about our pets’ afterlife destiny—as well as our own. Rainbolt’s collection of things-that-head-bump-in-the-night will have you laughing and crying. You’ll feel comfort and reassurance, as well as the occasional chill creeping up your spine. Readers will enjoy chapters on:

GUARDIAN ANGELS who stand as dedicated protectors of their chosen humans
FELINE HARBINGERS warning of impending tragedy
Joyful but often brief appearances in FAMILY REUNIONS
MANY HAPPY RETURNS that highlights reincarnation homecomings
And mystified homeowners scratching their heads because, that’s NOT MY GHOST CAT

I’ve known Dusty for close to twenty years–we’re both into our 6th or 7th cat-life! She’s a multi-award-winning cat behavior author, veterinary journalist, feline behavior consultant and Fear Free Certified® Professional. She has authored thousands of articles and columns, and 14 nonfiction books and novels including the widely acclaimed Kittens for Dummies. (Ask her sometime about that Kittens for Dummies book…there’s a fun story there!)

I met Dusty through the Cat Writer’s Association. She’s a past president of the organization, three-time recipient of the Friskies Writer of the Year, and two-time recipient of the prestigious Cornell Feline Health Center Veterinary Issues Award. Her books, columns and articles have been honored with more than 65 writing awards. In 2008 Rainbolt’s first volume Ghost Cats: Human Encounters with Feline Spirits received the coveted Muse Medallion for Excellence from the Cat Writers’ Association. The Muse is the prestigious organization’s version of the Pulitzer Prize.

You’ll want to get both books–and if you or a friend has ever had to say goodbye to a beloved furry friend, the book could be the purr-fect comforting gift.

New World Screwworm: What Pet Owners Need to Know

New World screwworm, or Cochliomyia hominivorax, is a parasitic blow fly. As an adult, the fly causes little harm but becomes a hazard because it lays eggs in open wounds. The eggs develop into screw-shaped larvae (maggots). Unlike more common species of maggots that eat dead material, screwworm larvae eat living tissue. They cause a devastating impact on livestock when the blow fly lays eggs in open wounds. It gets its name from the habit of burrowing (or screwing itself) into the wound. Read on to learn more…
