As for the former, they got a respite from us this week as we sneaked away for a few days of R&amp;R. They\u2019ve grown to almost dislike our wonderful neighbors who feed them when we\u2019re gone because, when they show up, it means we\u2019re not coming back for a while. But they survived the separation and have all resumed their normal behavior and habits, except for Max.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s seventeen now and seems to have forgotten that he\u2019s afraid of everything, including his shadow. The kitty-caretakers reported that they saw Max three times when they visited. He was lounging on a sofa watching them without flinching a muscle. Ordinarily\u2014over all of his seventeen years\u2014he has hidden when anyone visits. However, it has been our experience that when a cat reaches sixteen or seventeen years, they start to make some changes. The scaredy cat becomes more relaxed. Does the friendly cat turn timid? I hope not.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_486\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/birdsseptember13-068.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-486\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-486\" src=\"http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/birdsseptember13-068-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Here's what they see!\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/birdsseptember13-068-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/birdsseptember13-068.jpg 448w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-486\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Here&#8217;s what they see!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As for my other set of cats, my latest Klepto Cat Mystery book, <em>PAWtners in Crime<\/em> is selling at the rate of over 700 per month and the reviews are excellent. The next book in the series, <em>PAWSitively Sinister<\/em> is scheduled to come out possibly next month and I\u2019m currently working to put Rags in some more fascinatingly precarious and sometimes humorous situations in book 12\u2014(no title yet).<\/p>\n<p>If you like light mysteries involving cats, read this entire series on your Kindle. Don\u2019t have a Kindle, you can download the Kindle software FREE to any e-reader (your iPhone or computer, for example). For those who prefer holding a book in your hands and turning the pages manually, the first six books in the series are in print form.
