PURRfectly Good Reading!
A few weeks ago my blog post featured books for dog lovers. Some feline fans want equal time so I'm happy to oblige with this list of the cat's meow in newer cat tales!




Cleo : the cat who mended a family  by Helen Brown
A family experiencing heartbreak is helped by a very special cat named Cleo in this heartwarming story compared to the Marley & Me in its testament to the power of animal love.



Dewey's nine lives : the legacy of the small-town library cat who inspired millions by Vicki Myron, with Bret Witter.
If you've read Dewey, this sequel featuring more stories by Librarian Myron about Dewey and other cats should right up your alley.



Making rounds with Oscar : the extraordinary gift of an ordinary cat by David Dosa.
Oscar only spends time with the nursing home residents who are about to pass. Respectful to end of life issues, this is a story of profound insight into life and dying.



Homer's odyssey [large print] : a fearless feline tale, or how I learned about love and life with a blind wonder cat / Gwen Cooper.
Another heartwarming story about Homer, a blind cat, sees the author through some trying times.



A curious collection of cats
  by Betsy Franco ; illustrations by Michael Wertz.
A visual poetry selection of the fickle world of felines. Love those cats!



Top 10 cats for kids by Dana Meachen Rau.

and certainly keep in mind the mystery series featuring cat detectives

Sneaky Pie Brown Series by Rita Mae Brown
Koko and Yum-Yum, the Siamese cats by Lilian Jackosn Braun
Various feline investigators of Marion Babson
Midnight Louie by Carole Nelson Douglas
Joe Grey Mysteries by Shirley Rousseau Murphy
Sweetums by Mary Daheim
Bastet, a sometimes character in the Amelia Peabody mysteries by Elizabeth Peters

and don't miss this one...
Skippyjon Jones, the Siamese cat that thinks he is a Chihuahua dog, a mucho fun children's series!

This is just a handful of our cat stories...search our CATalog by the keywords Cat, Kitten, or Cats and you'll be certain to find many more Purrfect Cat Tails!

Oh! I just LOVE those kitty cats! We bought some cat nip for our guys the other day. Nicole and I totally cracked up watching Noodle roll and flop around for the longest time. Romeo just ate it, which figures, seeing he lives for food these days!! Homer's Odyssey sounds good- I had a friend with a blind cat... and I just love the cover of A Curious Collection Of Cats!
