Cats do seem to get a lot of stories told about them. Perhaps that’s because they are such unique characters. I keep trying to think up my own cat story, but I don’t think I can top all of yours. However, I have written some cats into a few mystery stories and those cats are being featured on the covers …
Does Your Cat Talk to You?
Are you tired of cat stories yet? I hope not. Love hearing about your unusual and unique pets. I’m still not sure some of you don’t have a dog disguised as a cat.
