        Good books are like meek animals that stretch when we caress their backs, and that show us their bellies so we go and play with them; but they also do not hesitate to give us a good bite to free us from the claws of routine. To create these noble creatures, in Cataplum we dig like moles through the collective memory and explore the roots that connect us as Latin-Americans; thus, we recover our oral tradition, our playful language and its diverse and endless possibilities. As truffle-seeking pigs, we have developed an acute nose to find texts of authors from past and actual times. As rabbits we jump here and there tracking down illustrators with new proposals. And as eagles we strive to see, from a distance, how image and texts can coexist in harmony. In sum, our catalogue has been conceived as a living creature; one that begun as something very little, like bear cubs, but capable of becoming a fabulous living being; one that combines the best qualities of noble animals and have the power to captivate us.

        Cat

        by Wan Yan

        “Cat” tells the story of editors, writers, poets, painters and other characters in the literary circle. There are editorial department, pen meeting, group draft, and writers’ emotional entanglements. With a profound metaphorical approach, through special literary narratives and humanity observations, the writer jumped out of the world to see the world's sharpness and calmness with the recording of cat's eyes. The ancient cats are metaphors of modernity, and the literary story code at the end of a century. A vain, wandering and shining performance, a kind of chaos of illusion and reality, life and death. An editor-in-chief named "Feng Niang" and a deputy editor-in-chief called "Old Deng" were intentionally or unintentionally involved in the whirlpool of the literary world. These emotional, ideal, earthly, spiritual, and life vortexes are mixed in literature.

        Breed Differences in Dog Behavior

        Why Tails Wag Differently

        by Renee L Ha, Tracy L Brad, James C Ha

        Humans have bred dogs for physical and behavioral characteristics for millennia. These efforts can have unintended side effects, however, which may be either advantageous or cause issues - such as a predisposition to certain medical complaints, or, controversially, behavioural issues. The scientific study of domestic dogs is still in its infancy, but public demand for this information is at a record high as more and more pet owners seek to understand their canine family members. Focusing on the behavioral differences and tendencies that have arisen in different breed lines, this book explores, summarizes, and explains the scientific evidence on what breed can tell us about behaviour - and, crucially, what it cannot. This book covers: - the impact of inbreeding, how it contributes to problematic behavioral issues such as anxiety and aggression, and how it potentially affects the future health of the breed; - the limits of predicting a dog's behavior based upon breed, individual differences within breeds, and thus the corresponding limitations of breed-specific legislation; - guidance for professionals to help their clients better understand behavioral issues, traits, and appropriate expectations around the right breed for their household. Providing a comprehensive and approachable view of the science behind breed-specific behaviors, this book gives dog enthusiasts from all professional and personal backgrounds a better understanding of why dogs do what they do, and how we can improve our relationships with our canine companions. Covering genetics, phylogeny of canids, temperament, aggression, social behavior, and the history of dog breeding, it is an important read for researchers, students, veterinary practitioners and animal behaviourists, as well as shelter staff, dog trainers, or anyone looking for a greater understanding of dog breed differences.

        by Mu Ling

        A kitten born with spots on her head resembling the seven stars of the Big Dipper is named Ah Dou by her owner. She grows from a pet to a warrior who fights dogs and snakes, but because of the nature of cats to act on their own, she is mistakenly injured by a poacher's trap in the forest, far from the cottage. In order to avoid becoming a meal for the big dogs, she bit off one of the trapped legs and escaped with her life. Because of the pain of the villagers to heal her wound, he misunderstood the villagers and escaped into the jungle, where he became a wild beast in the fight with the falcons, weasels, red jackals and other predators. However, she still lives on, until she becomes a mother.

        Pink Tongue Out, Blind Female Cat

        by Maria Paz Guerrero

        “Himpar editores inaugurates its poetry collection with the new book by María Paz Guerrero, one of the most audacious voices of contemporary Colombian poetry. This book is no exception to Guerrero's quests: it is experimental, full of heartbreaking humor and combines the exploration of the animal with popular speech and the materiality of flesh and language. María Paz Guerrero's third collection of poems is inhabited by a series of characters: a blind cat that hits herself against everything she comes across; bodies that undergo medical examinations to measure the progress of the disease in their organs; legs that can barely hold on until they collapse; a language that unravels like a kite's pita; repetitions and verses crossed and transformed by songs by Héctor Lavoe, Henry Fiol and Simón Díaz. The structure of the book is also novel. It has a unity that is configured from the repetitions of characters and verses that reappear slightly transformed, each time. It differs from books that gather a multitude of singular poems. For its part, the language seems very simple, almost spoken, with a strange syntax, cut, broken. It is a bet on a musical poetry with some raw images, which differentiates it from the metaphorical poetry of abstract images.”
