\"lily-with-treats-030\"<\/a>This is the last day of the Klepto Cat Mystery blog tour. What fun we\u2019re having. The reception has been great. Ironically, just as the tour for my 9th book, Mansion of Meows<\/em> is about to end, I\u2019ve finished the sequel\u2014Klepto Cat Mystery Book 10 (still fussing with the title). It\u2019s with the proofreader as we speak\u2014so watch for it to debut in a month or so (depending on when my formatter and cover designer can do their part).<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s blog stop is at Socrates\u2019 Book Reviews. Here\u2019s the direct link: http:\/\/bit.ly\/1Dnkl8q<\/a><\/p>\n

I really enjoyed putting this whole blog tour together, but this is one of my favorite stopovers. The title of my guest post is \u201cCats\u2014The Author\u2019s Pawtners.\u201d Today, I\u2019ll talk about why cats and writers go together. I\u2019ll share what came first for me, the cat or the writing. I\u2019ll reveal some of the disadvantages of writing with cats\u2014some of the naughty things my cats do. Some years ago, for example, my Himalayan stepped on my keyboard and deleted the entire book I was working on. Sophie, our tortie, used to be our fax machine monitor. When she\u2019d hear the machine, she\u2019d rush in and retrieve the fax, then shred it. Oh yes, cats can be a comfort and cool companions, but as many a writer will tell you, they can also foster Cat-astrophes.<\/p>\n
