The cat and the dog have been occupying a prominent place in our homes and at our sides for many years. It is normal to come across them at any time in our literature or when visiting a website. Sometimes they occupy the central place and there are many books that have been devoted to them, sometimes by writers less well known than their companions... Other times, they are just making the scene more lively, more truthful, because without them, where would be the soul of our homes? Through these quotes, you will first travel in time, across regions religions and cultures: the Bible, Einstein, Mahomet, Queen Elisabeth II, Shakespeare, Agatha Christie and many others. This little journey into the heart of wisdom or in the company of famous personalities will give you all the delights that our fourlegged friends deserve. And at the heart of all these treasures, I'm sure you will find valuable thoughts to illuminate your every day. His life in a familly of Egyptian Maus and King Charles Spaniels made him sensitive to the deepness of the thoughts of our favorite 4-legs. Didier HALLÉPÉE shares with us the many quotations he met in the over ten thousand books he could read.

Cat behaviorist and star of Animal Planet's hit television show "My Cat from Hell," Galaxy, a.k.a. "Cat Daddy," isn't what readers might expect for a cat expert. Yet his ability to connect with even the most troubled felines--not to mention their owners--is awe-inspiring.

“A touching and provocative exploration of the latest research on animal minds and animal emotions” from the renowned anthropologist and author (The Washington Post). Scientists have long cautioned against anthropomorphizing animals, arguing that it limits our ability to truly comprehend the lives of other creatures. Recently, however, things have begun to shift in the other direction, and anthropologist Barbara J. King is at the forefront of that movement, arguing strenuously that we can—and should—attend to animal emotions. With How Animals Grieve, she draws our attention to the specific case of grief, and relates story after story—from fieldsites, farms, homes, and more—of animals mourning lost companions, mates, or friends. King tells of elephants surrounding their matriarch as she weakens and dies, and, in the following days, attending to her corpse as if holding a vigil. A housecat loses her sister, from whom she’s never before been parted, and spends weeks pacing the apartment, wailing plaintively. A baboon loses her daughter to a predator and sinks into grief. In each case, King uses her anthropological training to interpret and try to explain what we see—to help us understand this animal grief properly, as something neither the same as nor wholly different from the human experience of loss. The resulting book is both daring and down-to-earth, strikingly ambitious even as it’s careful to acknowledge the limits of our understanding. Through the moving stories she chronicles and analyzes so beautifully, King brings us closer to the animals with whom we share a planet, and helps us see our own experiences, attachments, and emotions as part of a larger web of life, death, love, and loss.

Around 4000 years ago, the Egyptians invented the grain silo. The silos have attracted rodents then snakes then cats. This was the beginning of the great adventure of the domestic cat. At the heart of this adventure, the Egyptian Mau, true descendant of Pharaoh cats, holds the first place. This is his story that we contons today. Only naturally spotted cat, it exists in 4 colors: silver, bronze, black smoke and solid black. Her eyes are gooseberry green and in the depths of his enigmatic gaze, 40 centuries of feline friendship look down on you. His temper full of personality makes him the typical feline. Demigod himself, he seduced Pharaoh. Certainly, it will seduce you also. Graduate of Polytechnic (Paris), PhD of Mathematics, Phd of Computer Sciences, Didier HALLÉPÉE is also cat breeder (Fondcombe cattery). Fallen in love of the Egyptian Mau, he shared his passion of the mau through the AIME, the International Association for Egyptian Mau.

With the invention of agriculture, the man left the nomadic state to become sedentary. But at the same time, he attracts rodents and cats with them. With the invention of the grain silo began the domestication of cats in Egypt, about 4000 years ago. Tired of his god status, the Egyptian Mau has left the land of his ancestors to conquer the world. Alley cats and breed cats are all his worthy heirs. This is the story of the most beautiful of the Egyptian Mau cat's children, pedigree cats, that you'll find in this book. As a high level scientific graduate Didier HALLÉPÉE was not promised to feline life. The discovery of the noblest of cats, the home cat, put him on the way of breeding. His passion for the Egyptian Mau did not prevent him to mix with many breed and enjoy all such beautifulness. This is this passion he shares with us today.
