Kahuna - The Cat Who Didn't Die

Francesca Cassini has never been married and never had children, but she has had cats. And when she has cats she is a doting and devoted cat mother. She treats her cats like people. When they are sick everything else is put on hold and she does whatever it takes to help them heal. When they die she wants to scream and wail, but is too afraid, fearing the intensity of that scream may shatter her into a million pieces and nothing will be able to put her back together again, ever.

At the time of writing she is cat-less. Or is she? Even though the vet put her last cat to sleep while he lay in her arms, and three days later she carried his cold and heavy-as-stone body to the grave dug a few feet from her caravan home, he is not gone. He may hae stepped out of his worn out cat suit, but Francesca says he is still very much with her.

This is the story of one woman's love affair with cats and her magical relationship with Kahuna - the cat who didn't die.

Warning: this book may dramatically and radically alter your perception of death.

Testimonial from Jane Duncan Rogers, award-winning life and death coach, author of Before I Go - The Essential Guide to Creating a Good End of Life Plan and Gifted by Grief - A True Story of Cancer, Loss and Rebirth and founder of Before I Go Solutions: "Kahuna - the cat who didn't die appears to be for cat lovers, but in reality is for anyone interested in what life really is and how it shows up. Francesca speaks of Kahuna stepping out of his tired and worn-out cat suit when death occurs, and just like this, humans also step out of their human-suits when their time has come. This is exactly what I experienced when my husband died, and so I was easily able to identify with the essence of Kahuna and how that showed up for this gifted author, both before death of the body and after.

A tender and loving book, Francesca has a beautiful way with words, which brings to life the image portrayed in such a way that I often felt that I was there, alongside her and Kahuna. I would recommend it to animal lovers and life-lovers alike."
