Cats: Keepers of the Spirit World

This book explores our intertwined spiritual history with cats. It examines spiritual and occult beliefs connected to cats from Mayan, Aztec, and Native American mythology as well as from ancient India, Samaria, Babylon, Japan, and Egypt. Exploring the spiritual nature of cats, author John A. Rush looks at humanity’s fascination and fear of cats through the ages. Examining cat evolution, the author looks at spiritual behaviors attributed to cats as well as modern biological research into cat behavior and their highly sophisticated sensory systems, which, unlike most other animals, have changed very little over millions of years. He explores their “psychic” ability to sense what humans cannot and the origins of their glowing eyes. He also explores similarities between cat and human emotions, cat communications with us, and the deep connection between cats and meditation.
