Meo [EPUB ebook] 
The Pharaoh of Cats

Mrs. Soless childhood friend and writer Jesse Miller related his unique experience with Sarge, his sons cat. Sarge was left in Millers care as his nineteen-year-old son, Taylor, was deployed by the US Army to Afghanistan. After only six weeks of military service, nineteen-year-old Taylor was killed by a female suicide bomber, and Jesse became Sarges permanent caregiver in Spout Springs, Virginia. One night at the RV campsite in Spout Springs, Virginia, Jesse noticed Sarge sitting in the middle of a circle of cats as if he were special. This formed the idea for an amazing childrens story. When Jesse purchased the cat from a pet store, he was told that the orange-and-white-striped Egyptian cat had been named Sarge. As Jesse thought about Egypt and Sarge, the story of a pharaoh turning two servants, Meo and Cleo, into time traveling cats came to be. At one time the cats had been human. Why had the two servants turned into cats? Everyone knew that cats were sacred in Egypt and were protected for life. The death penalty was ordered for anyone who killed a cat. Meo, the male cat, was set adrift on the Nile, while the female cat, Cleo, was imprisoned in the royal palace. It was apparent that Meo and Cleo loved each other and could never be happy apart. Could there be some mysterious connection between Sarge and the Egyptian cat Meo? As you read the exciting story, you will learn why Sarge was revered by a group of strange cats as he discovers his destiny and his place in history. Follow the two cats on their journey to reunite after being banished by the pharaoh.
