\"\"If you\u2019re like me you look for cats everywhere you go. Or at least you notice them when you\u2019re out walking, driving, traveling, shopping. You see them in yards, lolling in windows of neighborhood homes, roaming in parks, outside restaurants, and working in industrial yards and warehouses. Some of us even go to the trouble of visiting cats at shelters, cat caf\u00e9s, and businesses that \u201chire\u201d cat greeters, mousers, etc.\"\"<\/p>\n

Where are some of the most unusual places you\u2019ve seen cats? I have visited cat caf\u00e9s in several cities as well as cat shelters, but I\u2019ve been surprised to \"\"find cats in a variety of businesses over the years\u2014my veterinarian\u2019s clinic, a bookstore, the library, a packing house, pet stores, on boats, and even at the beach. In England, you might see cats guarding royal properties\u2014well, actually, I think they\u2019re hired as mousers. In Japan, you can ride a train filled with cats. (On my bucket list.) As a child, all I had to do was visit my grandparents\u2019 homes and I\u2019d see \"\"cats\u2014one or two at one grandmother\u2019s house and dozens at another. (Yes, I believe she was a car hoarder.)<\/p>\n

In my stories, Rags and Olivia have all sorts of experiences outside of the norm for a cat. That\u2019s one of the concepts that add charm to my Klepto Cat and Calico Cat books. Rags is a cat wrangler. He has actually ridden a horse a time or two and Olivia has recently made friends with a horse. Oh, wait until you read this story\u2014coming soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
