Comfort for those who miss their own "Angel Whiskers",
By "batgirl77" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Angel Whiskers: Reflections on Loving and Losing a Feline Companion (Hardcover)
This book has helped me release some of the pain suffered through losing my beloved feline friend. The deep realization that others also mourn such devoted pets, makes one feel less alone. The vintage photographs portray the love people can feel for these remarkable creatures known as Cats.

Angel Whiskers,
By Nancy (Corcoran, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Angel Whiskers: Reflections on Loving and Losing a Feline Companion (Hardcover)
Whether you are a dog or a cat lover, you will find "Angel Whiskers" especially inspirational, and fully realize the strength and unbreakable bond that exists between humans and animals. The photos, stories, and memorials are those everyone can relate to on a personal level. Both "Angel Whiskers" and "Angel Pawprints" will always provide me with the comfort I need in remembering my beloved pets.

Good basic reference for healing the pain of pet loss.,
This review is from: Angel Whiskers: Reflections on Loving and Losing a Feline Companion (Hardcover)
This book contains a lovely collection of written poems and memorials to beloved cats. The Cleveland Amory tale of the passing of Polar Bear is classic and guaranteed to make you weep. Also contained herein is the famous "Rainbow Bridge" poem by Anonymous. But new to me was the answering poem "Request from Rainbow Bridge" by Constance Jenkins, which I had not seen before and which I found to be one of the best pieces in the book. There is a small excerpt from the wonderful little book "Charles: the story of a friendship" by Michael Joseph which is sadly out of print, but well worth the effort of trying to track down a copy. The written tributes were most moving and offer some warmth from the freezing, howling winds of grief at the loss of a beloved "fur-person". The vintage photographs presented with the poems and stories were also surprisingly touching. Looking at them, the love humans had and have for their pets is a tangible and powerful emotion captured on film. I found this book to be much more of a balm for sorrow than "The Heart that is Loved Never Forgets". It is a good companion book to Philip Schreibman's "My Cat Saved my Life" and would make an extremely thoughtful gift for someone who is mourning their cat.
