Second, we made a donation to Winnie's Wish, so Andrea (from Andrea and the Celestial Kitties) sent us some new toys!!  The mom told her that Carmine has a cataract on one of his eyes and can't see things that blend in to the floor, so she was very kind and made sure she sent us light-colored toys so we could both play with them! :)


Carmine: I smell....CATNIP!!!!

The package wasn't in the apartment for more than five seconds before he was all over it!





Milita: Catnip....one of my favorite things!



Carmine seems to be having no trouble finding the new toys!! :)  

These toys are great!  We encourage everyone to consider donating to the Winnie's Wish Summer FUNdraiser to get their own set of catnip toys!  You can learn more about it at Andrea and The Celestial Kitties.

CAT IN AN ALIEN X-RAY REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY

We are very excited that Tor/Forge Publishing has given us the opportunity to review and giveaway the newest book by Carole Nelson Douglas, Cat in an Alien X-Ray: A Midnight Louie Mystery.

Cat in an Alien X-Ray, the 25th book in the Midnight Louie series, finds Temple Barr, a public relations specialist hesitantly taking on an interesting new client, Silas T. Farnum.  Farnum believes his new attraction, "Area 54," will be a big success on the Las Vegas strip.  However, the site of the building soon becomes a crime scene when two bodies are discovered.  Meanwhile, Temple is trying to juggle her ex-boyfriend and new fiance, and a serial killer with intent to hurt them all may be back in Las Vegas.  Everyone's favorite feline private investigator and his crew are on the case from the beginning.  With a little help from his furry friends (the Cat Pack), Midnight Louie strives to solve the mysteries.

While some of the chapters of this book are written from Temple's point of view, others are written from Midnight Louie's, which I really enjoyed.  I think the author does an excellent job of portraying the story from a feline's perspective.

The books in the series can be read independently of each other.  I have not read any of the other books in the Midnight Louie series, and at times, I found the characters' histories and subplots a bit overwhelming.  I would suggest reading the Forward ("Previously In") section as this does give some background.

I believe anyone who enjoys science fiction, mysteries, and cats would enjoy this book.

Mancat Monday


Carmine's enjoying the couch at our new place.  

The babies adjusted pretty well.  Milita was angry for the first day, but she calmed down.  She's happy again now. :)

We look forward to getting to catch up with you all finally!!
