Regal, An Intimate View of One Magnificent Feline
Home About Newsletter Reviews Events Bookstore Resources Press Kit Contact
“Personal stories are among the best of ways to enter into the lives of animals—what they know and what they feel. Regal is a wonderful and heartwarming story that shows just how rich the life of a nonhuman animal being can be and how animals can enrich our lives if we allow them to, if we open our hearts to who they are. Many thanks to Linda Fortune for sharing her story of one magnificent feline.”

“This delightful, heartwarming story of a woman and her extraordinary cat will both enlighten and move you. Regal: An Intimate View of One Magnificent Feline is a testament to this loving and intimate bond.”

“Linda Fortune recognizes that animals, like us, are feeling beings who should be treated with dignity, love, compassion, respect, appreciation, and recognition. Linda’s story exudes the joy and comfort we receive when we share our lives with pets. Theirs is an unconditional love that touches us in a myriad of ways, as her revelations about life with Regal the cat clearly demonstrate. This is a happy read, to be shared with anyone who respects animals. It is a must for the bookshelf of any cat lover!

“Reading Regal, I was reminded of the important role that women’s intuition plays in opening the lines of communication with our animals. This book will help you understand their feelings, emotions, and attitudes. How author Linda Fortune discovers that she can communicate with her cat’s soul after death and have it validated by another person is one reason everyone could benefit from Linda’s touching journey from dog person to magnificent feline lover.”

“If you’ve never had a cat, Regal’s story will show you what they are all about. Commonly held opinions evaporate and the cats’ true nature and interests come to light as the author learns more about the apple of her eye.”

—Ingrid E. Newkirk, president, PETA.
