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 Award-winning journalist Dusty Rainbolt has assembled this second volume of previously unpublished eyewitness accounts that provide haunting yet entertaining hints about our pets’ afterlife destiny—as well as our own.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.

A Day In The Life…Of A Pet Writer

This morning as I stared into the face of my grinning Shadow-Pup and dodged his bruising tail flagellations, I envied him. And I envied my Karma-Kat and Trinity-Kittty who still hadn’t roused themselves from daily 16-plus-hour sleep marathons. I mean, I really had a moment of green-eyed angst that Shadow lives a dog’s life and the cats lives in a dream-world (literally!) while my husband and I bust our buttons keeping them in kibble. But is this a fair assessment? Just for fun, here’s a comparison.

What to Do About Symptoms of Cat Separation Anxiety

Yes, cat separation anxiety affects many felines. When school restarts, and the kids go back to class, your cats (and your dogs) may suffer from separation anxiety.

Don’t Go! Dog Separation Anxiety & What to Do

WIth back to school this month, you may wonder how to deal with dog separation anxiety.

Celebrating Old Dogs: What Is Old?

It’s National Pet Health Month! Each November, we celebrate old dogs during their “official” month. But when is your dog considered old? We love our senior citizen dogs for the special joy they bring every day. But once a year, we celebrate old dogs during November Adopt A Senior Pet Month.

What is considered “old?” There are individual differences between pets, just as there are for people. While one person may act, look and feel “old” at fifty-five, another fifty-five-year-old remains active with a youthful attitude and appearance. Aging is influenced by a combination of genetics, environment, and health care over a lifetime. The oldest dog on record was an Australian Cattle Dog who lived for twenty-nine years and five months…

I’ve written about how to care for an elderly dog before, but this post addresses how to know when your canine friends become old dogs.
