Dr. Carol Teed graduated from the Atlantic Veterinary College in 1990. She spent most of her twenty-three year career as a veterinarian working in a feline specialty practice where she became fluent in the mysterious language of cats. However, she maintains there is no such thing as a feline expert and refuses to call herself one, even after seventeen years of owning and operating her own practice. While observing cats through their accelerated life cycle, she became fascinated by their ability to bring positive change to the lives of those they interact with. She currently lives in the rural Niagara region, in Ontario, Canada with her husband, four children, two dogs, three cats and three chickens. She is working on her second book, and always has a cat on her lap and two looking over her shoulder.
