Desiderata for Cat Lovers: A Guide to Life & Happiness

by Max Ehrmann

Book Overview

What could be more placid amid noise and haste than a cat staring quietly out into a dramatic skyscape, her soft fur reflecting the light? Or more peaceful than sleeping kittens cuddled up together in a pile?

Very cute cat photos

I've always loved this poem from an Indiana poet in the '20s. (You have to read it aloud in a low, sexy, calming voice to get the full impact.) These cute cat photos are a great match to the lines. Some are laugh-out-loud funny and others are inspiring. I bought them for many of my cat-loving friends.

Wonderful!

This is an eye opening book. It's such a nice soothing way of making you think about each line of the poem illustrated with such loveable cats. I've never felt so compelled to do so before. As you read the line of the poem and look at the cats, you can't wait to see whats on the next page. I am buying several to give to family members and friends.

Inspiring Poems with Kitty's

What a treasure for those who enjoy poetry. This vintage poem is enhanced with kitten photos to enrich the written words...Desiderata, a latin word for the phrase " things that are yearned for" is truly an endearing reading full of charm and wit....Enjoy

You'll love it.

I received this book as a gift and it was uplifting. Also gives brief history of the Desiderata poem.
