Chicken Soup for the Soul with Amy Newmark

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and today I’m sharing stories from our new book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Magic of Cats. Today we’re talking about cats that go missing and then miraculously return to their families, even months later and many miles away. That’s just one of the ways that cats add magic to the lives of their humans, because according to the writers of the 101 stories in this book, cats just plain make us better, happier people. If we rescued them, they rescue us back. If we’re sad, they comfort us. If we need to have more fun, they show us how. They are our therapists, our role models, and our best friends.
