\"Cats<\/a>

Cats don’t like water.<\/p><\/div>\n

I find cats to be practically the most interesting creatures on the planet. A cat can emulate an acrobat, zen master, and comedian all in the same afternoon. She can be a loyal companion one minute and aloof the next. She is independent, until she needs you. Cats are described as mysterious, cautious, curious, patient, stubborn, vicious, gentle, and smart. They are graceful, except for when they\u2019re clumsy. Most cats are active and they can be lazy. They\u2019re clean, but love to roll in the dirt\u2014mud is even better. Cats are contortionists. Most of all, cats can be a contradiction.<\/p>\n

I enjoy writing about cats. I use my own cats and other cats I\u2019ve known as models for the cats that appear in my Klepto Cat Mysteries. There are 7 in the series so far. Number eight is scheduled for release as a Kindle book this month. If you haven\u2019t read any of the Klepto Cat Mystery series, maybe now\u2019s the time to get started. http:\/\/amzn.to\/1kAI8I2<\/a><\/p>\n
