As you know, a major premise (and one of the fun parts) of the Klepto Cat Mysteries is the fact that Rags helps solve crimes and mysteries. It\u2019s his curiosity and creativity that is the CATalyst in most of his escapades. And you can\u2019t help but chuckle, gasp, and shake your head while reading these stories. Yeah, he can get quite involved, can\u2019t he? You\u2019ll be amazed and amused at the trouble he gets into in Book 24.<em><strong> Cats in the Belfry<\/strong><\/em> is available now in print AND for your Kindle.

Those of you who read the Klepto Cat Mysteries know that Rags, the resident cat, often comes up with just the clue and just the right time to make a difference in solving a crime. But it is happening for real too. Cat DNA is being used to nail the culprit in serious crimes\u2014well, those where cat DNA is found at the scene, for example. Here\u2019s one true story of how a cat helped to nail a killer. <a href=\"http:\/\/fullyfeline.com\/cat-dna-that-helped-catch-a-killer\/\">http:\/\/fullyfeline.com\/cat-dna-that-helped-catch-a-killer\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This may not be the only case where a cat helped to solve a crime. I read that 1\/3 of criminals have a cat. Who knew? So it\u2019s likely that cat DNA will be used to solve crimes in the future. Good thing the University of California-Davis is prepared. They have a Veterinary Genetics Laboratory and they have used animal DNA to catch criminals for more than a decade. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu\/whatsnew\/article.cfm?id=2756\">http:\/\/www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu\/whatsnew\/article.cfm?id=2756<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CATS IN THE BELFRY ready for purchase.
