Cat Problems

Four disembodied cat heads drift through deep space in Life Helmets, searching for their missing bodies. A puppy head who has never had a body searches with them. The soup is stirring in the wrong direction. The quest continues. Whiskerfluff is the captain because someone has to be. Mittens is the navigator who feels phantom paws he cannot explain. Cookie Kitty is the engineer whose soup has become an eighteen-chapter emergency. Skeedootle is a puppy head sealed in a Life Helmet calibrated for a species she does not belong to, and she is the bravest creature on the ship.

When The Lovely Witch surprised me with a new puppy, it turned my life upside down. A new puppy? What was she thinking?! I had to do something about it. But what? I was banned from using magic, so there was only one thing for it--puppy training! Unfortunately, a simple lesson in fetch (accidentally) caused potion mixing mayhem, which made us feel...not quite ourselves! Join Puppy and I in our first exciting adventure as we race to find a magical remedy...before it’s too late!

The Cancer Problem offers the first medical, cultural, and social history of cancer in 19th-century Britain. It argues that it was in the 19th century that cancer acquired the unique emotional, symbolic, and politicized status it maintains today. Through an interrogation of the construction, deployment, and emotional consequences of the disease's incurability, this book reframes our conceptualization of the relationship between medicine and modern life and reshapes our understanding of chronic and incurable maladies, both past and present. 

Er ist den ganzen Tag allein. Sie ist so traurig, weil ihre Schwester verstorben ist. Dann können sie miteinander Spaß haben und spielen. So oder ähnlich sieht die Vorstellung aus, wenn die Idee auftaucht, seiner Einzelkatze eine Partnerkatze zu suchen. Leider ist dieser Wunsch nur allzu oft naiv und hat mit den Bedürfnissen von Katzen wenig zu tun. Katzen sind soziale Tiere — aber sie sind dabei doch recht anspruchsvoll. Mit entsprechender Auswahl zusammenpassender Katzen und guter Vorbereitung könnten viele Konflikte vermieden werden.
