Types of Cat Grass Whether or not your kitty has ever hunted in the great outdoors, his ancestors certainly did it’s possible that, in digesting the leafy contents of their prey’s stomach for generations, these wild felines passed on a tendency to want to consume plants to their offspring. It’s behavioral instinct -A more likely scenario for greeny fixation lies in evolution. Again, there isn’t conclusive evidence to back up these assumptions. ![]() In that same vein, inducing vomiting might help to move along those always-pleasant (read: not) hairballs. It helps with digestion and upset stomach -Some have suggested that eating grass helps aid in digestion, or that it acts as a way to expel the indigestible parts of prey that was consumed in the wild.

However, when my contract was up, I realized that not only did I want to publish a possible series of three books, but I wanted to try being my own publisher. It is the second edition of the book I initially published during the pandemic with an indie publisher. Lily…Laura is my first self-published novel. The pandemic afforded me the time and the opportunity to improve and develop my craft to the best of my ability. It gave me great joy to see the look of wonder when my students read their favorite books.Īs far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a writer - a good writer. Being the school’s librarian and media specialist intensified my passion for books and writing. My career began as an elementary school teacher, librarian, and media specialist. I also want to relate the message that facing the culprits with the truth is empowering and liberating. A study done at the University of Buffalo, however, “has shown that reading fictional books increases a person’s ability to empathize with others and build cultural and emotional understanding.” My goal is that Lily…Laura reaches those youngsters who have been maligned and possibly heal the emotional and psychological scars. The words spoken cannot be taken back only time can erase the pain and the hurt. Gossip and rumors can be heard in the workplace, in schools, within a family and among friends. Often times the youngsters became involved in heated fights, arguments and suspensions from school. Malicious rumors left scars on the maligned youngsters that took a long time to heal. As a former educator and librarian, I observed how painful and hurtful rumors and gossip can be. I published Lily…Laura to give youngsters who have been victimized by malicious rumors and gossip a voice. ![]()
