A few of you saw my last post and learned that when I am not in the office, I volunteer at an animal rescue. Well, there is more to that story.
At the rescue center they call me the cat whisperer. My friends call me the CatFather, and they made me the hat to prove it. And this month, it became a book.
The CatFather is a collection of true stories about the rescue cats nobody wanted, the ones labeled too angry, too old, too scared, and what happened when someone finally knelt down and saw them instead of their labels. Every label was wrong.
Honestly, the book's whole message fits on one line, and it is printed on the back cover: sometimes healing is not complicated, sometimes healing is just love, offered at eye level. And if you have ever sat in our chairs, you know that is exactly how we treat dental fear too. No judgment. No rushing. Care offered at eye level.
The book is on Amazon in paperback and Kindle if you would like to meet the twelve cats who taught me more about healing than any textbook: https://a.co/d/0gX5ob1V
And yes, patients, the hat exists. Ask me about it at your next visit.
