Have you ever been curious about what your pet is thinking? Or maybe wondered if a polar bear at the zoo frolicking in the water tank is content or wishing to be in the Arctic’s freezing water? Or what the deer might be feeling as they stare back at you from a corn field? Cats living in a farm community know how to communicate. Not like humans but just as effectively. Leah, the resident farmer’s wife, knows more than most about how the cats interact with each other, how they function individually and in the community, and how they communicate with each other and with her. Each cat has its story to tell. They learn how to deal with young bullies. They deal with enemies, both animals and humans, even a cat that seems the incarnate of evil. They work together in a hierarchical community, knowing what appropriate behavior is and what is not. They protect their kittens but make them grow up fast in order to survive. They mourn over the death of members of their families as they line up to see them buried under the funeral tree. They accept the care of the weak and infirmed and include them as one of their own families. They reunite with relatives long since disappeared from the farm and form stronger bonds than before. You will learn all this and more through the narratives of a community of cats. Based on a real Iowa farm, you will understand how they survive and enjoy the humans on that farm.
