I thought it would be fun to share some of his adventures with you today. If you haven\u2019t read all of the books yet or even any of them, you might be surprised at some of the situations this ordinary cat finds himself in. As we\u2019ve established, he can\u2019t \u201ctalk\u201d himself out of these predicaments. He\u2019s a cat, after all. But he has experiences most cats only dream of (or can\u2019t possibly imagine).<\/p>\n<p>In <em>A Picture-Purrfect Christmas<\/em>, he rides a horse in order to get to the area where he can find his missing friend, Marissa. No, he doesn\u2019t jump on the horse and take hold of the reins. Savannah, his person, puts him in a soft carrier and lays it across the saddle. Then secures him on a leash and follows him to where Marissa is being held.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Cat-Eye Witness<\/em>, he witnesses a murder and, using his most cat-like qualities and instincts, he makes it clear who the culprit is. He earned acclaim from the local sheriff\u2019s department for his efforts in this story.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Meow for the Money<\/em>, Rags finds a lost cat and stays with her all night keeping her <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-903\" src=\"http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Meow-For-Money-cover-final-1000px-187x300.jpg\" alt=\"Meow For Money-cover-final-1000px\" width=\"187\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Meow-For-Money-cover-final-1000px-187x300.jpg 187w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Meow-For-Money-cover-final-1000px-312x500.jpg 312w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Meow-For-Money-cover-final-1000px.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 187px) 100vw, 187px\" \/>warm and safe until they are found in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>The Colony Cat Caper<\/em>, his intense curiosity scores him a high five from authorities when he single-pawed finds some gems that have been missing for many years in an old abandoned building.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Undercover Cat<\/em>, Rags reveals a clue to where a friend might be held. Because of that, she is found and saved in the nick of time.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Celebrity Cat Caper<\/em>, he discovers a secret room at a local library where he\u2019s a therapy cat for slow-readers.
