A Sleepy Tale - The Story of a Cat

JOANNE D'AMICO
About this episode

Tonight’s bedtime story is The Story of the Cat by Mary De Morgan—a timeless and touching tale about transformation and the power of kindness. In this sleepy tale, we meet an old, wealthy man who values money above all else, living a life consumed by selfishness. But one day, a mysterious cat enters his life, and through their bond, he begins to change. 

To help you relax and unwind, the episode begins with a calming guided relaxation to ease you into the cozy comfort of bedtime. Then, let the soothing rhythm of the story carry you away to a place of warmth and reflection.

Snuggle up, drift off, and sweet dreams!
