books about cats

[columbine]

Two Bobbies is about a dog and a cat teaming up to survive Hurricane Katrina.

The Cat Who Wouldn't Come Inside is geared to very young kids, with gorgeous art and a fun, goofy ending.

Love, Columbine

Dewey the Library Cat is a MUST read!! I'm reading it now and cannot put it down. Another fascinating cat book is "The Book of Cats". It is a fascinating book that helps you understand cats, what they do, and why.

There are 3 series of cat-themed mysteries I read: The Cat Who... series by Lillian Jackson Braun, the Mrs. Murphy mysteries by Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown (the cat), and the Joe Grey mysteries by Sherry Rousseau Murphy.

I'm reading all of the "Cat Who..." series from the beginning (I've read them all at one point or another). LOVE Qwilleran and the meezers!

Also reading Dewey and finished All my patients are under the Bed. Love any cat book!

Love this thread

I've also read "Dewey, The Library Cat" - it was wonderful. I have read the entire Rita Mae Brown series and thoroughly enjoyed. My favourite cat mystery series is "Joe Grey and his lady, Dulcie and their pal Kit", Shirley Rousseau Murphy - can't wait for the new one due to be released in late October.

Just got "Homer's Odyssey" and looking forward to reading it - reviews are really good for this book.

Thanks for the many other suggestions - purrfect for bedtime reading.

I spend so much of my time reading reference and technical material, as well as economic research reports that when I can find a good cat story, life is good. Cat and other animal related tails are a wonderful source of relaxation and fun. Takes me away from "wurk"!!

Another book I have read recently that I just loved is "The Art of Racing In The Rain" as seen through the eyes of his dog Enzo, by Garth Stein, a Seattle-based writer. Highly recommended.

And the Polar Bear Trilogy by Cleveland Amory.

I have the Polar Bear Trilogy in one volume; my cousin Linda (hooman) who joined her beloved Silver Belle (kitty) at the RB a little over a year ago had it in her collection and I enjoyed it. Others (I'm quite addicted): Cat Miracles by Brad&Sherry Hansen Steiger, Angel Cats by Allen&Linda Anderson, Dewey, of course, which I've bought twice, as I lent it to a friend and it didn't come back, If Your Cat Could Talk by Dr. Bruce Fogle, the Greatest Cat Stories Ever Told by various authors, and Hugs for Cat Lovers by Tammy L Bicket and Dawn M Brandon. Personal favorites: Dewey, Hugs, and Angel Cats.
