Do You Want to be the First to Learn Cat Divination?
I'm looking for cat people who want to learn about how to tell fortunes by observing their cat's behavior.
Why?
Because I've written a book about it: Felidomancy: A Guide to the Lost Art of Cat Divination.
How does it work?
Here's an example. Below is a video of my cat, Charlie. Watch the video. Underneath I explain the signs and what they mean...
It's a non-professional reader who gets an advanced copy of a work to proofread, edit, and offer suggestions and changes to improve the book BEFORE it is published. Beta readers play a critical role in making sure a book is the best it can be.
"The word 'Felidomancy,' is derived from two roots. First, the scientific Family name: Felidae. This family includes all cats, great and small, from Panthera Leo (lion) to Felis Catus (domestic cat). The second half of the root comes from the word manteia, meaning 'divination by means of.' Other such divination techniques with a similar ending are necromancy (divination by communication with the dead), cleromancy (divination by casting lots), and bibliomancy (divination by random selection of passages from a book). Felidomancy is also known as ailuromancy, from the Greek ailouros, meaning cat."
If you can't spend the time to go through a 55 page book, but know someone who would really love to help, forward this story to them.
Also, I'll be appreciative and grateful. I may even send you a little gift.
If you're interested, send me an email david@scribblefire.com.

What did He Do?
When I entered the room he just sat for a while. Next, he got up and walked to me and Meowed. After that, he walked past me. You can't see it in the video, but he climbed up on my desk behind me and lay down again.
Looking up the Behaviors in the Book of Felidomancy.
When you enter, your cat walks toward you…
Hold / focus on something you want. It is right around the corner if you let it in.
Greets you with a meow…
An admirer (in business or love) is thinking of you –this thought should make you happy.
Climbs on a table or other flat surface…
It is time to banish a hasty, no good, harmful thought. Good riddance to it. Welcome happiness when it smiles at you.
The Interpretation
When you string all these behaviors together, you get the following: I should focus on something I want. If I maintain that focus, I should get it soon. Of course, I am focusing on something at the moment: My Oracle Card project. Next, either an admirer (in love or business) is thinking about me. Since the first behavior had to do with a project, I'm going to guess that this is a business related admirer. And, indeed that makes me happy. Lastly, what is my "hasty, no good, harmful thought?" That I'm an idiot to think anyone will help with my cat projects. I've got this ebook that I need beta readers for and the oracle cards. Isn't it terrible that I'm second guessing myself? What Charlie Cat is telling me to do: chill. Don't think about all the things that could go wrong. People are supportive. I should welcome this opportunity and let myself enjoy the happiness of this moment.
I'm looking for Beta Readers... but what is a Beta Reader?

What's the Book About?
From the Introduction of the ebook:
"This book aims to liberate your future from the tyranny of the modern, narrow view. By making the effort to connect with the divine aspect of nature, you will see the power of reorienting your thinking. The divination techniques described herein have opened the hearts and minds of countless people over the centuries. This is not “fortune-telling” from the movies. An actress isn’t reading a crystal ball and telling you what will happen. Divination is an organic process. It taps into realms of reality, potentiality, and the depth of the multi-verse, to inform, instruct, and guide—never dictate. And with this divination, you will never be alone. Your cat will be your spirit-guide the whole way.""The word 'Felidomancy,' is derived from two roots. First, the scientific Family name: Felidae. This family includes all cats, great and small, from Panthera Leo (lion) to Felis Catus (domestic cat). The second half of the root comes from the word manteia, meaning 'divination by means of.' Other such divination techniques with a similar ending are necromancy (divination by communication with the dead), cleromancy (divination by casting lots), and bibliomancy (divination by random selection of passages from a book). Felidomancy is also known as ailuromancy, from the Greek ailouros, meaning cat."
I need you. Will you help me?
If you'd like to help me, I'll send you an electronic copy of the book. You'll read it and make a lot of notes on the book itself. Tell me what works, what doesn't. Try doing readings with your cat... or one you meet. The idea is for you to point out mistakes. I also need you to tell me what you loved. After you finish (by January 31, please), you can email me your comments.If you can't spend the time to go through a 55 page book, but know someone who would really love to help, forward this story to them.
What I'll do:
For your time and effort, I'll give you a shout-out in the acknowledgements section of the book and send you a free copy when it's published.Also, I'll be appreciative and grateful. I may even send you a little gift.
