Dedicated to cats who have helped me pray:

PART ONE

Introduction: Cats help me pray

I am elegant

Listen to me purr

I have many moods

One life is not enough

Let me snuggle

Am I in your way?

I choose what I want

The night is my friend

Donâ€™t forget about my needs

I stare without blinking

Approach my things with care

Treats are always welcome

I do not like changes

Leave me alone

Donâ€™t laugh at me

I will wait for what I want

Curiosity will not kill me

Your love is welcome

The world is full of smells

Let me in, let me out

In an instant I am awake

I am fierce, I am frightened.

Let me sleep, let me sleep.

I choose my own space

Thank you and please

Silence surrounds me

PART TWO

Introduction: God said: â€œLet there be cat.â€

Family

Special

Genes

Time off

Special meal

Mine

Chores

Look at me

Satisfied

Care

Washing

A higher Being

I know my place

I tread lightly

Talk to me

Good morning

I believe

The Good Book Stall

I confess I am not a cat person, and I had to imagine myself watching my daughter’s cats over the years. It was not difficult to picture their behaviour and why the prayers that Herbert Brokering wrote came into his mind. The left hand page has thoughts as if by a cat and on the right hand page the prayer that this thought gave birth to. I read with pleasure and understanding. A cat lover would get even more from this collection I am sure. The black and white illustrations are just right, and who could fail to smile at the appealing picture of the kittens on the last pages!
