The Cat Who Came For Christmas
by Cleaveland Amory

This is a very popular book, the first in
Mr. Amory's trilogy about his cat Polar
Bear, and in my not-so-humble opinion,
the best one out of the three.


Best Cat Stories
Compiled by Lesley O'Mara

My favourite stories in this book are
"Solomon & Sheba" and "The Cat Who
Could Fly".  


The Cat Who Mystery Series
By Lilian Jackson Braun

Thank you to the Mystery Society at CLAW
for introducing me to this intriguing
and interesting series!  So far, I have
read "The Cat Who Lived High", "The Cat
Who Knew A Cardinal", "The Cat Who Went
Into the Closet", "The Cat Who Moved A
Mountain" and "The Cat Who Said Cheese".  
The last is my favourite.


Minka & Curdy
by Antonia White

This is my human's absolute favourite book in 
the world!  But it's very old, and out of print.
She took drastic measures to get ahold of it,
namely taking it out from the library, losing
it, paying for it, and then *ahem* miraculously
finding it again!  But she's already paid the
fine, so might as well keep the book! hehehe.


The Witness
By Robert Westall 
Illustrated by Sophy Williams

This is a picture book, but it is told in such
beautiful language and the soft, luminous
paintings go with it so well that adults
and children alike should read it.

Carbonel
By Barbara Sleigh

When Rosemary buys a broom and a cat at
the market, she has no idea that she is
buying a witchs' broom and that Carbonel,
the cat, will take her on such an adventure!
I couldn't put this book down!  Carbonel
is my new idol.

James the Connoiesseur Cat
By Harriet Hahn

James is a very finicky, dignified and 
patrician cat living in a British apartment
building.  He enjoys dining on caviar and
wine, fine art and the high life.  In 
between times, he solves mysteries, plays
matchmaker and aids friends in distress.
Sort of like the Koko of the 1930s.

The Broccoli Tapes
By Jan Slepian

This is a children's book.  It's all about
a girl named Sara who moved to Hawaii and
adopts a wild black cat named Broccoli.  
It's intended for younger readers, but 
people of all ages will find it very touching.


James Herriot's Cat Stories
By James Herriot

This charming collection of cat stories
compiled through years of experience as
a vet is a must-have addition to any
ailurophiles' library.


The Fur Person
By May Sarton

This is a classic cat book about Tom Jones's
quest for the perfect housekeeper and how 
it turns into the quest for the perfect
friend and the title of Fur Person.  I 
recommend highly to humans and felines alike.

Tyke & Dusty: An Authorized Biography of Two House Cats
By Bill MacDonald

This is a book by a Thunder Bay author, so I 
don't think it will be easy to find, but believe
me, it's worth the extra effort.  Tyke and Dusty
are two cool cats!


Cat Catalog
Edited by Judy Fireman

This huge book is packed to the seams with
articles on everything to do with cats; from
our health to our history.


The Secret Life of Cats
By Robert de Laroche

This pretty little book, translated from 
French, is a treasure trove of gems.


Cat Scan
Compiled and edited by Robert Byrne and Teressa Skelton

This witty anthology of cats in literature 
covers everything!  It contains quotes, extracts
from novels, poems, facts, essays and letters
written by famous cat lovers.  

The Cat's Pajamas
By Leonore Fleischer

Exactly what it says on the front "A Charming
and Clever Compendium of Feline Trivia." I
admire Leonore Fleischer's writing immensely.


An Illustrated Cat Lover's Notebook
Edited by Helen Exley 
Illustrated by Juliette Clarke

Contrary to it's name, this isn't just a
notebook.  It's a beautifully illustrated
book of wonderful cat quotes and is my
constant companion by the computer in the
creation of these pages.
