Chicken Soup for the Soul with Amy Newmark

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and today we’re talking about cats, particularly cats who are naughty and then act guilty about it. You might not think that pets feel guilty but they do. I remember when our son’s dog ate two pairs of my shoes—on successive days—he was whimpering and so upset with himself, but he just couldn’t help himself. But cats? They seem so self-assured. Do they really feel bad after they’re naughty? Well apparently sometimes they do. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with a little Chicken Soup for the Soul inspiration for you from one of our latest bestsellers, Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Magic of Cats. We make our books about cats to be entertaining, not really as self-help books, even though that’s the category that we fall into with most of our work. But there are so many lessons to be learned from these cat stories despite that. Cats show us how to get the most out of every day, how to live in the moment, how to shed the resentments of the past… and often, particularly because of the number of rescues we feature in our books, cats are examples of how to use the power of fortitude and forgiveness and resilience.
