To Tame a Human: A Dying Cat Taught Me How to Live

By Bee Monarch and Mett Cat

Pet cats don't just eat, sleep, and manipulate humans. Some, like Mett, are wise teachers who make deep, permanent changes to their beloved humans' lives in ways that other humans cannot. To Tame a Human: A Dying Cat Taught Me How to Live is Mett's account of how his incurable illness--kidney failure--forced his guardian, Bee Monarch, to face her weaknesses. She had to change her relationship to herself and to the world around her in order to help Mett. She had to prioritize Mett's needs over her all-important work and take risks that could mean the difference between life and death. She even went as far as revisiting past lives to retrieve abilities she never knew she had. But there is no fairy-tale ending to this story. Every cat who gets kidney failure eventually dies, although Mett thrived for six-and-a-half years after his diagnosis. His passing culminated in his most profound teaching yet: there are no right or wrong decisions when it comes to life and death. Only one thing counts--are the decisions based on love and love alone? "You Will Never Be the Same After Reading This Book" A reader's perspective from Mara Ussino "I've volunteered to translate this book into Italian, so I can say I know it very well. I've known Bee and Mett for many years and we became more than friends--we became family, even if we live very far from each other. We immediately felt that we had known each other before and there was a strong bond between us. There are so many reasons to read this book. It is the amazing, sweet, tender story of a great love story between a human and a cat. It will make you laugh, cry, meditate, smile and think about many things you had never considered before. But it is much more than this. It is a book about life and death, happiness and sadness, changes and opportunities, it will make you understand that you can change your life, and your beloved ones' life, and it will tell you how. You will follow Bee in her life path, you will meet Mett and you will hear about his wise teachings that changed his mom's life. You will understand how to deal with a terrible disease, and you will understand that everything has a meaning in life, that there is something good in every event. Even the worst problem can help us to evolve and to become a better human being. This is a book that can help you to become wiser and happier, that will make you think about life and death in a different way. You will never be the same after reading it. I am different, I am better, I am wiser, after translating this book, and I hope that it will be the same for others who read it."
