The book "The Tenth Soul" is a wandering through the wilderness of the most enigmatic animal: the cat.

With gentle and thoughtful writing, Yigal Serna brings us a wonderful work: he does not start out as a quintessential cat lover, but his partner Orit and her beloved cat, Gracie, send the author to investigate the animal whose devoted lovers are willing to do almost anything for her.

Serena talks to cat owners, whose names we would mention with importance in normal reality, but in feline reality we would mention the four-legged ones with great respect first: Mishfumi, the wandering cat of the poet Daniel Oz, Rita Kogan's cat Pizza, a cat who disappeared one day and changed the poet's life; Bagira, Naama Thorn's feral cat; the cat Lola of the duo Jane Bordeaux, and also the cat that Noa wants to give birth to. Alongside them are European cats like the one that lived with the writer Sally on her boat in Oxford, the aggressive cat Henry of the English poet Kate, and Frankie the Bengali, the murderer of the British top investigator Fielding.

Like a cat, Serena explores with curious ease the history and cultural and literary connections of the cat, and through encounters with the cats or their owners, a connection is created between Tel Aviv, Portugal, Cyprus, England and the Netherlands, and a beautiful harmony is achieved between the person, the animal and the place.
