Cattitude: Life-lessons Learnt from My Cats

By Manmohan Singh Dadwal

A compilation of life-lessons I learnt from my cats. An inspirational-book for adults and a perfect bedtime-reading for children. Take a peep into the world of the masala-crew.

As a kid, I wanted a cat but my mother was understandably against the idea. She knew that she would end up taking care of the cat. I pleaded and cried but my mother did not budge. So I never had a cat and lived perfectly happy without a pet until one day Masala was gifted to us. Masali was a beauty and had a unique character that inspired us in many ways. At the age of two, she left the world leaving us with her three offsprings: Bali Masala; Garam Masala and Peanut Masala. The three of them will celebrate their first birthday soon- actually we will- cats don't really celebrate birthdays!

About this book

As a kid, I wanted a cat but my mother was understandably against the idea. She knew that she would end up taking care of the cat. I pleaded and cried but my mother did not budge. So I never had a cat and lived perfectly happy without a pet until one day Masala was gifted to us.

Masali was a beauty and had a unique character that inspired us in many ways. At the age of two, she left the world leaving us with her three offsprings: Bali Masala; Garam Masala and Peanut Masala. The three of them will celebrate their first birthday soon- actually we will- cats don't really celebrate birthdays!!

Two years with cats have taught me a lot!! I often look at them for answers. As a self-evaluation tool, I have the masala-crew. I have learnt that cats have a unique wonderful way of living life; a certain verve and nonchalance… a cattitude!!

That's what this book is about! Nine lives of Cattitude that I learnt from my cats.

Cattitude is all about Persistance

It's six am and they are still sleeping!! Humph!! Bali mutters as he tries to open the window with his paws.His
