So, Men! College is finally behind you. You’re out in the world, making a living, enjoying your job and your profession. You’ve bought your first upscale car, you’re about to think about upgrading your living space from an apartment to a nice condo or even a small house. You’re making good money and living the good life. Your social life is coming along nicely and the women you meet and date are fun and interesting and great playmates. No strings attached, at least for the moment. But, even as you enjoy your life and all the good things in it, you gradually realize something may be missing. A companion. A partner. A possible soul-mate with whom to share your new-found prosperity and lifestyle. In short, a female roommate. A girl friend to share your living space as well as your life. You are beginning to think about something more serious than just a weekend sleepover. No, you haven’t yet met the right girl with whom to share your home, but you’re thinking about her and wondering when you’ll meet her. And you’re also wondering what it will be like to share your space with a woman, hopefully with a woman you love, but just possibly with a woman you like a lot, and whom, you also suspect, you will never marry. It’s a scary thing and a big step to take. I know, I know, your first thought is: SEX - anytime, anywhere, anywhen. Which, of course, is all we men really want anyway. Naturally however, guys, along with all that great nonstop sex, you also have to ----- LIVE WITH A WOMAN! Hmmmm. Yep, you’ll have pretty much unlimited access to all that great sex you’ve just been getting on a sometimes basis. But, see, Guys, the funny thing about that initial sexual attraction is it just doesn’t keep the same degree of heat for a long period of time. The hotter the fire, the shorter the burn. Your relationship with your female roommate changes, and becomes more like partnership. Or companionship. Oh, the sex is still there and still great - well, good, anyway - but in a subtly different way. And other things become more important - at least to her! Like companionship. And partnership. And mutual caring. Keep in mind, Men, such an undertaking is not something to be entered into lightly, as any male who has ever known a female from the age of three up can testify. Women are tough roommates - or girlfriends - or wives - or whatever. And, let’s face it, Guys, as much as we dearly love women, they aren’t men and they can be difficult and demanding and hard to get along with. They look at the world differently from us, which can be fun and exciting, but can also be frustrating and annoying and hard to put up with. So, what to do? Is there any way a man can prepare himself for living with a woman? Is there anything a man can do to get ready for what will probably turn out to be the biggest change in his life? Well, Guys, yes, as a matter of fact, there is. You can have a pre-female relationship that will prepare you for living with your woman of choice. Before you enter into a live-in relationship with a woman, before you take The Big Step, you have the chance to practice what it will most probably be like. And that, after this long-winded introduction, is what this book is all about. Living with a Cat.

About the Book
Women! By God, we men love them. We court them, we watch them, we crave them, we want and need them. We buy them candy and diamonds, we take care of them, we covet them. And still they drive us crazy. No matter how much we try to understand our female counterparts, no matter how much we give and give, no matter the size of the house or car or bouquet of flowers we bring them, we just never seem to be able to live with them without, at some point, seriously wanting to rid ourselves of them. And yet, no matter how much they drive us crazy, we still keep coming back for more. No use asking ourselves WHY, Men. Just accept the fact that we have to have them and let it go at that. The main thing we men have to learn, however, in order to keep our sane male outlook on life, is how to live with the little darlings. Because live with them we must, as siblings, as roommates in college, as lovers and potential long-term mates, as wives and mothers and, finally (and more or less inevitably) as daughters. Trying to live with a woman, however, is a scary proposition, one for which almost all men are ill-equipped from Day One. But don’t despair, Guys. You now have a foolproof way to prepare yourselves for your everyday life with the woman of your choice. Gary Lukatch’s newest book has the answers to your questions and dilemmas. Before you share your living space with a woman, all you have to do first is live with a cat. The Feline Mystique is the book to tell you how. Buy it, Read it, Profit.
About the Author
Gary Lukatch was born in the USA before the term "Baby Boomer" was coined. He graduated from the University of Missouri, served in the United States Army, and then spent 29 years in the financial industry, mostly in California and New Mexico. In 1999 he finally quit his job, sold his house and car, threw his briefcase into the San Francisco Bay, and moved to Europe to teach English to the business people of Budapest. He is the author of two other published works: To Úr With Love, a romp through his second life in Budapest; and Bankers’ Hours, a romp through his first life in the financial business. He has also written many C&W song lyrics, sadly all unpublished and unsung, including such should-be classics as: If I’d Have Met You Sooner I’d Be Through With You By Now; I Can’t Get Over You ‘Till You Get Out From Under Him; and his own personal favorite, The Ballad of Onan. He has been inside an Egyptian pyramid in Giza, visited a Turkish Bath in Istanbul, backed up quickly from the snake charmers in Marrakech, crewed an America’s Cup racing yacht and climbed the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He has visited Lenin in Moscow’s Red Square, flashed Beverly Hills, been a weight-lifting champion, floated in the Dead Sea, and eaten "haggis reeking, wi’ bashed neeps" in Edinburgh, Scotland. He has his name on an Olympic brick in Atlanta, Georgia. He has scuba-dived Cozumel and skied Mt. Etna, and has even taught English in Oxford, England. He once owned a goat, but he NEVER owned a Leisure Suit. He has lived with seven different cats and three very different women.
