I haven't read it yet, but I'm intrigued by this one I saw one of my Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ friends reading: The Cat Who Went to Heaven by Elizabeth Coatsworth. Has anyone read it?

Laurel Bradshaw (llawryf) | 703 comments Pride and Prejudice and Kitties: A Cat-Lover's Romp through Jane Austen's Classic - A P&P retelling from a cat's point-of-view with photos. Clever, but a bit repetitious.

Chi's Sweet Home, Volume 1 - a 12-volume graphic novel series for children, but I loved it as an adult too! Anyone who has been owned by cats will be very familiar with the cat behaviors and situations depicted.

/series/4127... - A long-running mystery series, featuring Mrs. Murphy, a cat, along with her cohorts, Pewter and Tee Tucker ( a corgi) who help Mary Minor “Harry� Haristeen solve mysteries in the little town of Crozet, Virginia.

Breaking Cat News: Cats Reporting on the News that Matters to Cats - a comic strip featuring cats as news reporters. I adore these cartoons and there are I think 6 book collections out now.

Homer's Odyssey - a memoir about adopting a blind kitten who survived against the odds. Heartwarming!

Leslie | 16369 comments I haven't read any in a couple of decades but I used to be a big fan of the Mrs. Murphy mystery books! Also Lilian Braun's "The Cat Who..." series of mysteries, one of which I mentioned in an earlier post.

Loving Auntie Jane so much - and cats almost as much! - I NEED to read this

Robert | 64 comments Haven't thought about reading about cats, bit I did read a pre-print manuscript on big cats. It was so well-written and detailed. Conclusion? Lions, tigers, jags, pumas, cheetahs, leopards are simply cats that are bigger, but cute all the same :)
