Die heilende Kraft der Katzen

Purring comforters: cats as gentle therapists

Cats are not only among the most popular pets - they have healing powers, in the orthodox medical sense and spiritually. In her book, animal psychologist and cat expert Elke Söllner shows the intimate connection between humans and animals and how we can benefit from the therapeutic power of cats.

She combines her knowledge as an animal therapist with the latest scientific findings. The result is a completely new kind of cat guidebook:

• How Cats Heal: Cats as Soul Comforters and Empathic Therapists

• How cats make us healthy and happy Understanding cats and learning from them

• How humans and animals support each other: Strengthening a sense of responsibility and self-confidence

• How the symbiosis of cat and human works in old age and illness

• Why the cat is a power animal and how a 'cat oracle' works

Understanding cats and training your own self-perception

Cats are highly sensitive. Like us, they feel joy and fear. Through this special emotional connection, they can express on a physical level what we repress and suppress. In this way, they make us aware of our own illnesses or psychological deficits. The purring of the house cat lowers blood pressure, relaxes and helps against depressive moods.

But first we have to learn to understand cat language. You don't have to be a cat whisperer to do that! Animal psychologist Elke Söllner gives practical tips for a relaxed and happy coexistence with the furry noses: 'Let's let our cat inspire us to rethink one or the other attitude to life and let the kitties whisk us away into the world of the light-heartedness of the present moment'.
