Meet the Clever Cat in Naples
On Saturday, February 2, 2013 from 2 - 4 pm Emmy Award-winning journalist Cathy Unruh will appear at the Shabby Cat resale shop with her formerly feral cat, Lucy Miracle, to celebrate their new adventure novel, "Taming Me: Memoir of a Clever Island Cat." Narrated by Lucy, the novel offers an intimate look at the thoughts and emotions of a cat as she struggles to survive in the wild and learns the intricacies of human interaction. Animal behavior scientist Jonathan Balcombe raves, "Unruh brilliantly captures the inner world of a cat," while journalist Darlene Arden remarks, "You'll cry, you'll laugh and you will love Lucy."
Published by Collage Books, Inc. in Naples, "Taming Me" has received immense support from Alley Cat Allies, The Humane Society of the United States, Neighborhood Cats of New York City, Farm Sanctuary, Florida Voices for Animals, actress Loretta Swit, and popular authors Rory Freedman and Carolyn Haines. "Taming Me" is featured in the December issue of "Cat Fancy" magazine. Unruh and Lucy Miracle have appeared on numerous TV and radio programs throughout the country.
Cathy Unruh hosts a talk show for WEDU-TV and is a frequent speaker and emcee in Tampa, Florida. She is also an award-winning member of the Cat Writers' Association. She grew up on a hobby farm and is passionate about animal welfare. This novel champions her views about the humane treatment of animals.
Located in the Naples Design District at 956 Second Avenue North, Shabby Cat is a resale shop offering designer dresses, shoes, jewelry, furniture and other upscale items. The shop also facilitates cat adoptions on site. The shop's proceeds benefit Brigid's Crossing, a non-profit cat rescue and holistic sanctuary in Naples, Florida. Their phone number is 239-263-6019.
