Does Your Cat Know Her Name?

Lily talking up the Klepto Cat Mystery books

Lily talking up the Klepto Cat Mystery books

Is your cat confused about her name? Sometimes, when I walk past Lily, reach down and pet her and murmur, “Hi sweet thing,” or “Whatcha doin’ punkin’” or “How’s my pretty girl,” she gives me a rather puzzled look. I got to thinking that maybe she doesn’t know what her name is.

Maybe she thinks she’s “punkin’ noodle doodle,” “cutie patootie,” or “precious.”

However when I call out “Lily” at meal or treat time, she’s quick to show up. So maybe she isn’t having an identity crisis.

Now that I think about it, she appears even when I call Max or Sophie. So perhaps she’s confused. Or, she doesn’t want to miss out on any food or treats that might be handed out. She even runs on scene when I’ve enticed Max onto my lap for a nail trimming session or to be groomed. These are events she’d rather not participate in, but she sure enjoys watching us “torture” the other cats.

What do you think, does your cat know his/her name? Do your cats come when you call them?

Opportunity for Readers of Cozies with Cats

photogeorgeI love to be greeted by the neighborhood cats in my yard when I’m putting out there or heading out for my morning walk. This sweet girl is George. She lives next door.

I’ve introduced several new kittens and cats in my Klepto Cat Mystery series, most of them with traits and habits from cats I’ve known. But I haven’t created a role George, yet.

Don't Leave Me Behind

Don’t Leave Me Behind

The Klepto Cat Mysteries continue to sell like wildfire and I continue to write every chance I get. I just finished the first draft of my first Christmas story—to be published in digital as well as print form for the 2015 Christmas season. I’m looking for beta-readers—people who enjoy Christmas stories and cozy mysteries and cats, who will read the manuscript and offer feedback before I fine-tune the story for the proofreader. Of course, you’ll receive a free copy of the book, either Kindle or (for those in the US) a print copy.

If you’d like to be a pre-publication (or beta) reader and can get your comments to me by August 9, please contact me PLFry620@yahoo. It might just be a nice weekend project for you. Keep you out of trouble. Give you an excuse to sit around and cuddle with your own cats for a few hours.

Corral Cat Caper Now in Print

Lily

Lily

Another Klepto Cat Mystery has gone to print. If you’re one of the many fans of the Klepto Cat Mysteries, and you prefer print to digital, you’ll be happy to learn that The Corral Cat Caper is now in print form.

The Corral Cat Caper is number 7 in the Klepto Cat Mystery series. Also available in print are Catnapped, Cat-Eye Witness, Sleight of Paw, Undercover Cat, The Colony Cat Caper and Celebrity Cat Caper.

Order your copies here: http://amzn.to/1kAI8I2 This link takes you to Amazon’s Klepto Cat Mystery page. Scroll down and find the book you are interested in, then click on the cover to get the ordering page.

All 11 Klepto Cat Mysteries are formatted for your Kindle. Order the Kindle version of any book for $2.99 and the print version of the first 7 books at $8.95. (Amazon usually offers discounts for print copies.)

To refresh your memory, the Klepto Cat Mysteries are light, fun cozy mysteries full of adventure, intrigue, and a little romance. They feature Rags, an ordinary cat who just can’t keep his paws off other people’s things. Often, the treasures he finds are clues in a mystery. Follow Rags’s fascinating life path from when he and Savannah were single and he roamed the neighborhood stealing everything from toys belonging to large dogs to jewelry and bathing suits. Rags and Savannah don’t stay single long. After meeting Michael, a handsome veterinarian, Savannah settles down, but the cat doesn’t change his thieving ways. Even though his kleptomaniac habit is annoying and embarrassing to his family, he has earned the respect of the local sheriff’s department and he was even asked to star in a documentary.

In The Corral Cat Caper, Savannah’s horse goes missing and Rags, the klepto cat, goes into mourning. Savannah and her friends spend days on horseback searching for Peaches over miles of dense wilderness. Along with a few dead-end clues, they stumble upon Elsie, a most unusual elderly woman living under dangerously primitive conditions. Elsie harbors secrets—some of which may lead to the recovery of Savannah’s horse, but only after Rags puts his claws into the matter and Detective Craig Sledge gets involved.
The Corral Cat Caper features a lot of horse energy. It’s rich in adventure of the feline as well as equine sort. In one scene, Rags attempts to save their sweet kitty, Buffy, from a catnapper and Savannah helplessly watches this drama unfold via a surveillance camera app on her phone.
This story is full of sweet and evil surprises, unexpected twists and turns, and plenty of action and adventure.

Order your copy of The Corral Cat Caper or any of the other first 7 books in print today. Or download any one or all of the 11 Klepto Cat Mysteries formatted for Kindle. http://amzn.to/1kAI8I2
