The Cat Who Couldn’t Be Bothered

Written & Illustrated by Jack Kurland

From the Website:

There is a cat. A cat that couldn’t be bothered to do anything … anything at all. His friends ask him if he wants to play but he doesn’t feel like it. They invite him on adventures to far-off places, but he would rather stay at home. Until one day, a friend asks how he is doing and the true reason why he’d rather do nothing is revealed. He is feeling sad.

This is a story about feelings, friendship, and the importance of speaking to someone when you don’t feel right.

Both children and adults will love the quirky and hilarious cat’s refusal to take part in anything and the sweet and important message behind this story.

Why Can’t My Brother be More Like My Cat

By Allia Zobel Nolan

Illustrated by Lee Wildish

From the Website:

Paws down, little girls love their cats. But when it comes to their brothers, they have two reactions: Either they adore them–or want to trade them in for a more refined sibling–one who is less embarrassing, more sympatico, and well, more “cat-like.”

In this fanciful rhymed children’s book, with can’t-stop-looking-at-them art by New York Times Bestselling Illustrator, Lee Wildish, a little girl stacks up her cat’s fine points with her brother’s–and the cat always comes out ahead. Or does he?

Starting work at the Cat Park, a sanctuary for senior and hospice cats, is challenging enough for Lynley, but then she learns the founder of the Park was murdered and the murder never solved. Lynley’s cat-like curiosity won’t let her leave the case alone.

But why is the Park’s new owner so fiercely opposed to Lynley’s sleuthing? What’s making the Director of Philanthropy grumpy all the time? Who is sneaking around listening at doors? The dead woman’s ancient cat has a twinkle in her eye, but she isn’t telling.

As Lynley’s granddaughter and her beau make plans for their upcoming wedding, Lynley has other things on her mind. Something is going on at the Park. Is there more to her new job than playing with cats?

Overworked PhD student Liz takes a break at the local cat café with her friend Jade, who wants to start a special needs cat rescue. When Jade pitches her idea to Carl, who is in charge of corporate giving for a rich local family, sparks fly between the two.

Meanwhile, snark flies between Liz and Carl’s best friend. William seems stuffy and rude, and worst of all, he doesn’t like cats. Meanwhile, William is intrigued by Liz even though every one of their interactions seems to go awry, in part due to his terrible cat allergy.

For the sake of their friends and the animals, the two figure out how to get along – until Liz learns some horrible things about William. But is she trusting the right person? Then the feisty kitten Lydia disappears – perhaps stolen – and they have to overcome their differences in order to rescue her.

The Furrever Friends Sweet Romance series features the workers and customers at a small-town cat café, and the adorable cats and kittens looking for their forever homes. Each book is a complete story with a happy ending for one couple.

Moonlight & Grace

“Land has memory,” Dr. Mullen tells his old friend, artist Grace Tyne. She learns the truth of those words when she inherits her godmother’s home.

The otherworldly happenings that follow lead Grace to question many things…including the wisdom of taking on a place that is already possessed.

Drawn into the mystery surrounding the girl’s death, Grace receives unexpected help from two kindred souls — an elderly neighbor and Moonlight, a telepathic Abyssinian cat. Through them, she learns that the world is indeed full of magic, not all of it good, and that ghosts may take many shapes. And that this inherited place of memories may still have the capacity to forget….

Unwilling to abandon the traumatized boy she spots fleeing the scene, September tries to protect her mental health by turning the witness over to the police.

Creating Comfort for Your Senior Cat: Stories, Poems, and Illustrations

By Mollie Hunt

From the Website:

Cats change as they age. What can we do to change along with them?

Mollie Hunt takes us beyond necessary veterinary care, relating stories of her own senior cats—what happened and what she did to make them comfortable as they faced the struggles of elderhood.

Dirty Harry developed arthritis. Heating pads and warming blankets were only the beginning. Tinkerbelle had a heart murmur. Diminishing stress and overstimulation in a home with four cats was a challenge. Ginchan was seventeen when the litter box issues began. When a medical issue was ruled out, we found ways for him to still live his best life.

Hunt is a long-time cat shelter volunteer and a cat foster parent specializing in older cats. Her own beloved cat Tyler recently celebrated his twenty-first birthday.

ELVIS AND THE WORLD AS IT STANDS

by Lisa Frankel Riddiough (author) and Olivia Chin Mueller (illustrator)

From the publisher: Most shelter animals dream of going home with a forever family. But for Elvis, being chosen by Mrs. Pemberton is a nightmare. He’s been separated from his sister, Etta, and is determined to get back to the shelter to find her. In spite of himself, Elvis becomes curious about 10-year-old Georgina Pemberton, who builds LEGO skyscrapers in her bedroom while navigating her parents’ separation. The longer he’s in his new home, the more he starts recognizing new feelings: admiration for Georgina’s creations, affection for the other pets, and even empathy for the Pembertons—despite their inability to listen.

As Georgina sets out to build her most important skyscrapers yet—the Twin Towers—Elvis realizes that maybe both humans and animals can take a page from Georgina’s Big Book of American Architecture and “build a world of their own choosing,” even if the choices aren’t what they’d initially expected.

Elvis and the World As It Stands is a poignant middle-grade story about loss and finding family from the point of view of a newly adopted kitten from Lisa Frenkel Riddiough with illustrations by Olivia Chin Mueller. Kirkus awarded the book a starred review for outstanding writing. They said:

“Riddiough has lovingly crafted a group of fully realized animal characters—even a fish—as well as three sometimes-mystifying humans, all of whom share their hopes and tribulations and demonstrate that not all happy families look alike. . . This gentle effort will leave engaged readers purring contentedly.” ―Kirkus Reviews

CAT DREAMING: A STORY OF FRIENDSHIPS AND SECOND CHANCES

by Stephanie Schorow

From the publisher: In the era of big hair, massive shoulder pads, Reaganomics and Madonna, four newspaper women are desperately seeking success. Maureen, Tina, Elektra, and Sarah bond over their love of newswriting and cats but learn female friendships can be as tricky to navigate as love affairs. When Sarah slips into unconsciousness after an accident, her friends resort to feline subterfuge to wake her from the state they call “cat dreaming.” Cat Dreaming: A Story of Friendships and Second Chances explores the events that brought the friends together and the changes that could pull them apart – unless they accept the faults in each other and in themselves.

Inspired by her years in the trenches of journalism at the Boston Herald, the Stamford Advocate and the Associated Press, author Stephanie Schorow takes readers on a wickedly funny and fantastical romp through the 1980s, seeking to answer the question: Why are women often their own worst enemies?

MY ONE-EYED THREE-LEGGED THERAPIST: HOW MY CAT CLIO SAVED ME

by Kathy M. Finley

From the publisher: My One-Eyed, Three-Legged Therapist: How My Cat Clio Saved Me is the story of how an adorable, spunky, gray-and-white kitten helped the author regain the courage to face life’s challenges and realize that none of us is truly alone.

Born into poverty, losing her dad at age seven, and targeted by bullies, Kathy turned to pets for unconditional love and acceptance. A difficult childhood led to an abusive marriage, but things changed on her fortieth birthday when her staff at the organization where she worked gave her an extraordinary cat named Clio. The runt of the litter, a two-time cancer survivor, and a special needs cat, Clio nevertheless had an incredible will to live full tilt. This intrepid feline knew no fear and displayed unlimited self-confidence. She overcame not one, but two, disabilities.

By watching Clio thrive despite what life threw at her, Kathy was able to put her own life in perspective by learning to accept the past, embrace the present, and look forward to the future.

NONFICTION/ CAT BREEDS

THE CAT’S MEOW: HOW CATS EVOLVED FROM THE SAVANNA TO YOUR SOFA

by Jonathan B. Losos

From the publisher: The domestic cat—your cat—has, from its evolutionary origins in Africa, been transformed in comparatively little time into one of the most successful and diverse species on the planet. Jonathan Losos, writing as both a scientist and a cat lover, explores how researchers today are unraveling the secrets of the cat, past and present, using all the tools of modern technology, from GPS tracking (you’d be amazed where those backyard cats roam) and genomics (what is your so-called Siamese cat . . . really?) to forensic archaeology. In addition to solving the mysteries of your cat’s past, it gives us a cat’s-eye view of today’s habitats, including meeting wild cousins around the world whose habits your sweet house cat sometimes eerily parallels….

In a genial voice, casually deciphering complex science and history with many examples from his own research and multi-cat household, Losos explores how selection, both natural and artificial, over the last several millennia has shaped the contemporary cat, with new breeds vastly different in anatomy and behavior from their ancestral stock.

The Cat’s Meow is the winner of the Cat Writers Association’s 2024 MUSE Medallion in Non-Fiction.
