Description
This is no ordinary book about any ordinary cat. It's about an extraordinary series of events and the equally extraordinary process of animal communication. It's about different species being able to understand each other, even beyond the grave. And it's about the hope and joy that this realisation can bring to those who have lost animals and just want to hear their voices.
Since leaving the planet in 2011, Bentley has delivered hundreds of messages to his 'mum' Janet, through conversations with inter-species communicator Clare.
Janet and Clare kept every message Bentley gave them over a twelve year period, and in 2024 he told them the time was right to share his teachings with the world. A beloved friend to Janet for many years, Bentley continues to update and educate her via his communications, even telling her off at times - like most cats he certainly knows his mind!
Through this book you will get to know the inimitable Bentley very well. He shares insights into 'life after life', for both animals and people. He has even given some predictions about certain animals facing extinction, and encourages us humans to step up and help the animals save the planet.
A cosmic conservationist cat indeed!

I just feel so uplifted today! I finished the journey (of reading the book) last night. I laughed, I cried, but most importantly, Bentley has brought me back to a state of hopefulness about the future health of our planet and our beloved animals, each and every one, feathered, furred, scaled, winged, and any I may have missed out. I feel I have been blessed with insight that I would never have had if I hadn't been introduced to Bentley through the book. I thank him for helping us to understand the greatness of life in the expansive universe we know so little about. I really don't have a fear of going to Heaven, and in his infinite wisdom he will help many who hopefully read the book to feel more at ease with this process. I will be paying much more attention to the good work being done by Born Free and generally around the world where incredible people are working hard to keep us reminded of the importance of love and awareness of all creatures. Thank you from my heart Bentley, and thank you from my heart Clare and Janet!I am mentioning Bentley and the book to people every chance I get. I would like people to be a bit more open to the psychic abilities of our animals here on the Earth Plane and those who are helping us mere humans from another realm of existence. Bentley has changed my life and it is my honour to have been introduced to him - Ellie Blair, UK
I absolutely loved reading Bentley's book! It's a wonderful heart-led and spiritual book written (transcribed) beautifully. It really touched my heart, enlightened, and humbled me. We humans really do know nothing! What a wise boy. Thank you Bentley, Clare, and Janet. My spirituality just went up a notch! - Liz Lochness
I've just finished reading this fabulous book (more than just a book!!).To me it's more than a book, it expands your heart, and your consciousness. It holds within its pages a very high vibrational frequency. Bentley certainly knew what he was doing, opening the door for the reader to come into contact with this high vibrational frequency.
It's funny, and sad in places, but heartwarming - a book you don't want to put down but don't want to finish! I highly recommend it as it is certainly on a different level from other animal books etc I've read. Thank you Bentley for your wisdom and cosmic knowledge and thank you Clare and Janet for all the years and time you put into the book (much much more than a book) to bring it into being, and even in your wobbly moments you carried on (not sure you had a choice!).
It's excellent for animal lovers (or even if you're not), and anyone who wants to know what goes on over the rainbow bridge - and little secrets on what's going on with the animals of the world. A brilliant read, hoping there's going to be a Bentley 2.
Side note:- I personally know Clare and have been on a few workshops of hers and can honestly say she's the real deal! - Kath Carson
Just finished reading the last chapters of this amazing book in bed with my Charlie (cat) next to me. Thank you Bentley, Clare and Janet for this heartfelt and inspiring book. An amazing read you should be so proud. I feel so very grateful to have had the pleasure of reading this very special book written by a very special cat! - Christine Howells
I have just finished this beautiful book and it's a keeper for sure. The connection and love that I felt from this amazing feline has blown me away. His teachings have been conveyed by Clare in such an honest, straightforward way. Janet his "mum" must be so proud. Bentleys love for his Hooman shines through and feels like a balm for the Soul. Highly recommended for everyone, not just "animal people".. in fact , more so for those who aren't, as they may need Bentley's love more than ever - Carolanne Powell
What a brilliant book! I feel like not only do I know Bentley, but I'm now also part of his wider family. He is a very wise feline indeed!
I've had my own thoughts about the world, the universe and the afterlife, and to read Bentley corroborating everything I try to believe in, is just astonishing. The book certainly opens ones eyes to the fact that animals, particularly cats, have their paws on the pulse of how humans are destroying habitats and poisoning the earth. Bentley and co are trying to help restore nature and the balance of the world, with great enthusiasm! It is very uplifting and insightful.
I enjoyed the format of the book, with Clare, Janet, and the protagonist each having their own input - I laughed out loud at parts, and fought back tears at others. I simply couldn't put the book down and compulsively devoured every sentence. When I'd finished it... I read some chapters again. In fact I'm going to read the whole thing again just in case I missed something!
Thank you, Bentley - I'd love to join the conflabs at full moon! Thanks also to Clare who made this communication happen, and to Janet for the insights into Bentley's life with you. I appreciate that you have both spent years putting this together. Fabulous! - Debra Hagel
I have just finished Bentley's book. Wow what a book I laughed but I did cry a lot.
I felt Bentley was with me while I was reading the book. I've never felt the love I did while reading this book. As I was reading I could feel my heart opening further, I didn't realise how much my heart had closed. Bentley you are one wonderful amazing and beautiful soul. Thank you for letting us know what is happening and how you are all working so hard in heaven to help us and the planet.
Clare thank you for writing this wonderful book and for all you do you are one very special lady .
Janet thank you for sharing your beautiful Bentley and his wisdom with us all. - Pearl Trewick Johnson

Clare Metcalf
Clare is an award-winning professional Animal Communicator, Healer and Homeopath, based on the outskirts of Durham, England, with clients and students worldwide. She loves to write and to educate and had her own two page column in a hugely popular national magazine for eight years.
Beginning her career as a Civil Servant, her working life was abruptly halted by a chronic illness that left her wheelchair bound. It was only through her beloved homeopathy that she regained her health and discovered a new vocation as a Homeopath, ultimately leading her to rediscover her lifelong gift for communicating with animals.
Clare is an enthusiastic dabbler in anything arty, crafty, or creative, and she loves salsa dancing, live music and theatre. She lives with her patient and understanding husband of 32 years, Russell, and together their wanderlust takes them travelling and hiking the great outdoors and exploring ancient and sacred sites. They live with their two rescued feline boys Jasper, and Barney, with regular visits from their now spirit cats and rescue hen friends.
Clare is passionate about conservation, animal rescue and welfare and donates her time and expertise to many animal sanctuaries at home and abroad. She has sponsored animals and supported the Born Free Foundation since its inception in 1984.
Janet Barber (Bentley's Mum)
Janet very modestly states, "I am certainly no author and I think of myself as a scribe for my beloved Bentley and his book."
Janet spent most of her working life in communications and human resources. Once retired, she started to teach genealogy on a voluntary basis. After the loss of pippin, Janet started to foster cats who were desperately waiting to find their 'furever' home. Sometimes she would have a cat for as long as three months, but there was always an inevitable heart-breaking day when the cat had to leave.
She says, "I would constantly remind myself it was not about me; it was what was right for the cat. I would wave the cat off, close my front door and shed a few tears. Then it was onto the next cat who needed some help on a temporary basis."
Janet was born and bred in London but now resides in leafy Surrey. She still offers talks, enjoys knitting for a couple of charities and, of course, adores cats. She also sponsors animals and supports The Born Free Foundation.
Clare and Janet are donating proceeds from the book to The Born Free Foundation via Work for Good.
