Goodbye, litter box! Hello, toilet! Now there’s a better way. Using Paul Kunkel’s foolproof 21-day program you can break the litter box habit and teach your cat the clean, healthy alternative of using the toilet. Toilet training isn’t just for your convenience. Many cats equate the smell of a litter box with danger, causing stress, and the fragrances, dyes, and disinfectants found in most litter are detrimental to your pet’s well-being. So yes, it’s true: A toilet-trained cat is a happier, healthier cat. The requirements are simple: Magazines or newspapers. Masking tape and heavy-duty plastic wrap. One last bag of litter. And a litter-trained cat between the ages of six months and ten years (you can teach an older cat new tricks, but it may take longer). Then, 21 days later, the transition from box to toilet will be complete, and your cat will be the newest toilet-trained member of your family. Really.

It is in the shelter of each other that the people live.Drawing on this Irish saying, poet, storyteller and theologian Pádraig Ó Tuama relates ideas of shelter and welcome to journeys of life, using poetry, story, biblical refelction and prose to open up gentle ways of living well in a troubled world. The fourth gospel tells of Jesus arriving in the room where the disciples are gathered, full of fear, on Easter Sunday. He does not chide or admonish; instead he says 'Peace be with you', which, in the Aramaic of his day, was simply a greeting. To people locked in a room of fear he said 'Hello,' welcoming them to a place of deep encounter: encounter with themselves, with their fear, with each other and with the incarnate one in their midst.Interweaving everyday stories with narrative theology, gospel reflections with mindfulness and Celtic spirituality with poetry, In the Shelter reveals the transformational power of welcome.

After close to a decade where he has focused on teaching, fatherhood and running London's longest running poetry open mic, Poetry Unplugged, Niall O'Sullivan returns with Werewolf of London, a selection of some of his best known older poems alongside new verse written during his print hiatus. His newer work is still inflected with humour evident in his work since his 2004 début, but he seems to have found in his later work a register that ekes the majesty out of his reflections. Nowhere is this more evident than in the soaring nine-part sequence Now is Not the Time for Politics, which starts out in the realm of fatherhood where 'the mundane becomes so magical'; gathers the whole world and its winters in its span, where the 'warbling beyond our curtain is/ some Pentecostals giving Satan the boot'; and ends where most human interaction begins, with the word 'hello' – except it is uttered from the grave. A gem of fluid, funny, fierce verse.
