Felix
is a cat of extraordinary intelligence and with great enthusiasm he explores all things, animal,
vegetable, and human in his neighborhood. What deepens his thought is the
shrine and the creed of its guardians. His adventures around the vicinity of Lake Constance often bring him into dangerous situations. He has the uncanny
ability to make friends who appear and save him just in the nick of time. As a
teenage cat he chafes at the strict rules which he is told to observe. He
believes a “liberated” kitten shouldn’t have to be so shackled. Because of his
endearing mannerism and cute tricks, he soon becomes the darling of the Shrine of “Our Lady of Victory” in the little
village of Wigratzbad and of all the pilgrims as well. He asks about the
Bavarian Shrine and Catholic teaching in an engaging way. He always tries to
understand more completely what is explained to him. 
His
best friend is a seminarian who becomes ordained and leaves Felix. His last
order is to ensure that Felix becomes the ‘official assistant’ porter of the
Seminary.
Felix
considers himself an expert in the CAT-e-chism, which he learns by heart as his
little Marie memorizes it to prepare for her first HOLY COMMUNION.
He
considers it as his duty to know perfectly
any CAT book. The charm and thoughts of our little feline bring the
readers young and old into another world as seen by a furry four-footed ‘soulmate.’

REVIEWS
“My
thanks for the very enchanting adventure of ‘Felix der Wallfarhtskater’ are
very sincere. I am impressed with the pedagogical value of the story. I do hope
many children will be able to read it because Felix does include so much solid
catholic teaching in the entire story. Msgr. William DeBock, Madison, WI.

“Felix the Shrine Cat is a charming book of fanciful
whimsy and deep faith that will entertain and inspire people of all ages.” Fr. Jay P., Madison, WI.
“This is the cutest story I ever read. I think I
never laughed so much while reading a book.” Denise Schroeckenthaler, Mother
of 12 children, Madison, WI.
“This book is brilliant. I loved the very vivid and
endearing adventures of Felix. The reader comes away with a deep joy and love
for Christ and his Church, through the eyes of Felix.” Anne E. Rookey, Madison,
WI.
The book is full of love and teaching of the faith
for all ages. Seen through the eyes of dear Felix makes the story fun and
humorous. You will enjoy his journey of faith and trust through all who met and
loved him. Liz Lewis, Grandmother, Scottsdale, AZ.
Pope
Benedict received a copy of the book "Felix der Wallfahrtskater' written
by Edith Breburda of Madison. Edith's relative, who is a classmate of the Holy
Father, had Mass and breakfast with the Pope, on which occasion he could
present the gift. The children's book relates the escapades of Felix, a cat at
a pilgrimage place in Germany. The wise cat is able to teach his readers about
the Catholic faith in a humorous way. The Holy Father had a big smile when
receiving the book. He loved especially that a cat would explain the catechism.
