by Federica Sgarbi (Author)
Working as a student volunteer in a kennel for cats,
philosopher Federica Sgarbi discovered to her surprise
that applying the ideas of the great philosophers was a
very successful way of finding new homes for abandoned
cats. By carefully considering the character of the cats,
she was able to match them to the type of person whose
life would most improve by adopting them.
In this
charming and uplifting book, she describes the philosophy
she developed and what we can all learn from our feline
friends.
