Book excerpt: The Pharaoh's Cat, narrated in the present tense by the cat himself, is the story of a free-spirited, quick-witted stray in ancient Egypt who suddenly finds himself with human powers joined to his feline nature. The cat immediately captures the attention of the seventeen-year-old Pharaoh, making him laugh for the first time since his parents' death, and is brought to live with him at the royal palace. The cat also becomes friends with the High Priest of the god Amun-Ra and seeks his help in solving the mystery of his human powers and the supernatural manifestations that later plague him. He has an enemy in the Vizier-the Pharaoh's uncle and the second most powerful man in Egypt. The Vizier hates him for himself and even more for his relationship with the Pharaoh. The cat participates in festivities at the royal palace, developing an insatiable appetite for good food, wine, and gossip. He later accompanies the Pharaoh on a trip through his kingdom, all the while renewing the Pharaoh's ability to enjoy life and inspiring him to become a stronger leader. Between the cat and the Pharaoh a bond of love gradually forms which will determine Egypt's destiny. The Pharaoh's Cat imaginatively blends Egyptology with comedy, drama, and even time travel--the cat and the High Priest will meet Elena, a resident of the twenty-first century and the daughter of a renowned Egyptologist. Maria Luisa Lang was born in Rome and lives in New York City. She has a degree in art history and is an amateur Egyptologist. The Pharaoh's Cat is her first novel. She has almost completed a sequel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mrs. Soles's childhood friend and writer Jesse Miller related his unique experience with Sarge, his son's cat. Sarge was left in Miller's care as his nineteen-year-old son, Taylor, was deployed by the US Army to Afghanistan. After only six weeks of military service, nineteen-year-old Taylor was killed by a female suicide bomber, and Jesse became Sarge's permanent caregiver in Spout Springs, Virginia. One night at the RV campsite in Spout Springs, Virginia, Jesse noticed Sarge sitting in the middle of a circle of cats as if he were special. This formed the idea for an amazing children's story. When Jesse purchased the cat from a pet store, he was told that the orange-and-white-striped Egyptian cat had been named Sarge. As Jesse thought about Egypt and Sarge, the story of a pharaoh turning two servants, Meo and Cleo, into time traveling cats came to be. At one time the cats had been human. Why had the two servants turned into cats? Everyone knew that cats were sacred in Egypt and were protected for life. The death penalty was ordered for anyone who killed a cat. Meo, the male cat, was set adrift on the Nile, while the female cat, Cleo, was imprisoned in the royal palace. It was apparent that Meo and Cleo loved each other and could never be happy apart. Could there be some mysterious connection between Sarge and the Egyptian cat Meo? As you read the exciting story, you will learn why Sarge was revered by a group of strange cats as he discovers his destiny and his place in history. Follow the two cats on their journey to reunite after being banished by the pharaoh.

Book excerpt: This is the definitive book on classical cats. The cat has played a significant role in history from the earliest times. Well known is its role in the religion and art of ancient Egypt, no less than its association with witchcraft in the Middle Ages. But when did the cat become a domestic companion and worker as well? There has been much debate about the position of the cat in ancient Greece and Rome. Artistic representations are sometimes ambiguous, and its role as a mouse-catcher seems often to have been carried out by weasels. Yet other evidence clearly suggests that the cat was as important to Greeks and Romans as it is to many modern people. This book is the first comprehensive survey of the evidence for cats in Greece and Rome, and of their functions and representations in art. Donald Engels draws on authors from Aesop to Aristotle; on vase-painting, inscriptions and the plastic arts; and on a thorough knowledge of zoology of the cat. He also sets the ancient evidence in the wider context of the Egyptian period that preceded it, as well as the views of the Church fathers who ushered antiquity into the Middle Ages.

But Ra's friend Khepri, a wise and industrious scarab beetle, insists on investigating in order to save the young servant girl who has been framed for the crime. Once Ra gets going, he decides that being a Great Detective isn't so bad; in fact, he doesn't mind being hailed as “Protector of the Weak and Defender of Justice.” The comically mismatched duo is on the case!
