Moon Howl Sessions : Gata Unbound a Series for Ailurophiles of All Ages

The debut of the Gata Unbound illustrated novel series, The Moon Howl Sessions has already landed a feature story in the Humane Society of the United States award-winning magazine Humane Pro. Senior Editor Jule Falconer's description of The Moon Howl Sessions: "They're the four-legged shadows who prowl rural lands, suburban backyards and urban neighborhoods in nearly every corner of the globe. So it's high time that community cats got their own children's book series. "Gata Unbound follows the neighborhood adventures of an eclectic cast of free-roaming ferals, indoor-living pet cats and the humans who cross their paths. With messages of kindness and inclusion, the series introduces readers to trap-neuter-return, rescue and adoption, as well as "catlava," Mexican freestyle wrestling and moon howl therapy. Readers of all ages will find much to savor in this whimsical, funny and charmingly illustrated series." Through the experiences of a rare, male calico cat, an old inventor, a psycatherapist and cathropologist, a baker of Greek descent, a mysterious celebrity cat-trapper, and a whole host of fascinating characters, this humorous debut of a one-of-a-kind book series engages readers of all ages in the wild world of cats and the life-saving innovation known globally as "trap-neuter-return" for community cats. You'll meet the old, wise tomcat, Archimedes, and his best friend, Bill Ellison. Bill is an erudite feline who has his master's in cathropology and is now going for a PhD. He is also an aspiring psycatherapist. The Moon Howl Sessions begins with Bill pondering, and then pursuing, his doctoral thesis on a phenomenon that has been sweeping The Territory and the globe: the abduction of felines from the Territory, and subsequent unceremonious return. Curiously, although these cats are now missing part of an ear, they're feeling healthier than ever before. It's truly a mystery. Bill's old friend, Archimedes, introduces him to Klein, who has been through the experience and is grappling with the weirdness of it all. Bill enlists his psychatherapy skills to help Klein get back to a better state of mind. He embarks on solving the mystery, and in the process invents a most innovative form of group therapy to help the many others who have been similarly affected.
