The Herbal Cat Is Coming…
At a time when herbalism is expanding in the canine health world, improving quality of life and longevity, cat parents are left wondering whether these benefits can apply to their own companions. The answer is yes.
The Herbal Cat stands out because it doesn’t isolate nutrition, behavior, or natural healthcare into separate sections. Instead, it integrates them into a cohesive, whole-cat framework.
“Cats remain some of the most captivating and misunderstood animals. Unlike dogs, they have never fully surrendered their wildness; they are still 95 percent tiger. This means they move through our homes with instincts intact, shaped by ancestral rhythms that influence their digestion, behavior, and emotional needs. To honestly care for cats is to recognize this wild inheritance and meet it with respect rather than resistance.
The Herbal Cat will fill a long-standing gap in feline wellness. Despite the millions of cats living in households around the world, reliable and holistic resources have been scarce. Many times, cats are left out of the holistic conversation.
This book changes the narrative. It places cats at the center, presenting them as whole beings whose nutrition, environment, behavior, and emotions matter to their overall health and well-being. ”
From the Authors
“This work is rooted in joyfulness. For over a decade, Adrienne and I have learned so much through consistent engagement with our cat-centered community. When learning is both practical and enjoyable, cat guardians thrive. The same goes for cats: their health flourishes when daily care is approached with curiosity, compassion and joy.
Countless interactions with cat guardians have shaped the pages of this book, ensuring that it reflects not only professional expertise but also the lived experiences of thousands of families and their feline companions. ”
“When writing The Herbal Dog, in the background was a constant question. What About Cats?
Even though cats are a different species than dogs, they live in the same environments, face many of the same stressors, and experience similar patterns of imbalance, yet they have long been excluded from thoughtful herbal care because they are perceived as fragile or difficult to work with.
In truth, herbs can be powerful allies for cats when they are approached with respect for feline physiology and species-specific dosing strategies. With proper guidance, careful selection, and an understanding of how cats metabolize and respond to plant medicine, herbal support becomes not only possible but deeply supportive, offering gentle, effective tools that honor the unique nature of the cat while helping cats thrive.
The Herbal Cat is a thoughtful collaboration bringing the best of herbal medicine with two of the brightest minds in cat behavior and care. Adrienne Lefebvre and Jae Kennedy. ”
