Most cat owners sense that in some indescribable way cats are special. Georgie Geyer has captured not only the special nature of cats but also the special relationship that exists between cats and their owners.
When we, as humans, take the time to understand our pets as an expression of Spirit....we raise the vibration of our own lives as well as those of our pets. This book about one woman's journey with cats will inspire many other jouneys by many other pet owners.
I provide bio-energetic balancing and vibrational remedies for pets and their humans and the spiritual nature of these pets and their ability to teach us never ceases to amaze me.

Not Up to Expectations
Considering the august reputation of the author and the number of pages, I expected a much more scholarly discussion on this subject. I was disappointed to wade through so many personal stories of her cats performing typical cat antics. While cute to a degree, less would have been an improvement so that the real topic could shine through. The title promises much more than is delivered. Too many cutsie remarks and exclamation points detract.
Some fascinating information is included, and that did keep me reading, but one has to excavate for the good stuff. The interviews and descriptions of the places traveled are interesting and worth the time. Exploring some additional cultures would also have been appropriate.
However, I commend Geyer for adding to the anecdotal nonfiction shelves about felines.
Whle the book is not a total waste of time, be prepared for a lot of fluff if you're looking for the real story.
When Cats reigned like kings
I very much enjoyed reading this book since I am very much a cat person. I have a special interest in cats since I work at an egyptian museum and have done quite a bit of research on cats especially the Egyptian cat goddess, Bastet. I love the way Georgie Geyer humanized the cat and the research she put into the book. Not to mention the wonderful humor and the warmth in which she portrayed the cats. I loved seeing the cats in a different perspective and traveling with the author to unusual places that I probably will never see.
When Cats reigned like Kings
This book is superb and the service from Amazon could not be equalled.
When Cats Reigned Line Kings: On the Trail of the Sacred Cats
I do not know if it was because I am a cat lover, but I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in history. Ms. Geyer is an interesting author and has written a real page-turner. I thank her for making information which could have been dull bright and interesting. I now know more about the origins of my own beloved cats.
