Din Dins, Not Mail (#Bookgiveaway)
by Quincy
from FAT CAT TAKES THE CAKE by Janet Cantrell
Here I am, patiently waiting for my evening din dins, taking a nap on the computer keyboard. I’ve been swiveling my ears at every little sound, waiting for that doorknob to turn. When that happens, only goodness will follow.
I’ve heard some sounds of commotion from the kitchen, where everyone is gathered. They seem to be excited about some piece of mail.
It’s just about time for my human to walk through that door and give me the reward I deserve. What? Why do I deserve a reward? For existing, of course. I’m a cat, a superior being. I should be rewarded for being the handsome tabby fellow that I am. And maybe for being clever. My human might never have solved those two murders without me.
Wait! Where’s my din dins? Why is she dumping that pile of mail on the desk? Okay, she’s stopping to rub my head…but my awesome purr isn’t making any difference. She’s leaving!
I’d better see what this mail is all about.
Please leave a comment that includes your email address for a chance to win a copy of FAT CAT TAKES THE CAKE. I’ll close out the contest at noon on Thursday, EDT.
FAT CAT TAKES THE CAKE is the third mystery in the Fat Cat series.
http://janetcantrell.com/
When their former classmate Richard “Dickie” Byrd throws a high school reunion to gather support for his mayoral campaign, it drums up some not-so-sweet memories for dessert shop proprietor Chase Oliver and her friend Julie Larson. Julie would rather not reconnect with Ron North, the creepy kid who had a crush on her back in the day. His social graces haven’t exactly improved with age, but is he creepy enough to kill?
The next day, Chase is in the park testing a new cat harness for Quincy, who quickly proves that he cannot be leashed. But when his escape leads Chase to Ron’s body, the police wonder who else got away. Now, with Julie suspected of murder, Chase must prove her innocence before the real killer plans another fatal reunion.
Includes dessert bar recipe and leash training tips for cats!

A mystery with a class reunion as its foundation has to be good. Can't wait to read. "Leash training tips for cats"....I'd like to try those on my two cats. dbahn(at)iw(dot)net
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading fat cat. I like that cat.

Leash training for cats? Now that's funny. I was just looking at an ad that said "How to leash train a cat and live to tell about". I had thought about taking a closer look as I have 2 cats rescued sort of recently. 2 years ago from an abusive situation. You even think about putting a collar on them and their gone. Good think I don't let them outside. I have 'rehabilitated' one cat previously. I live with my adult daughter. We are buying a home together. Rescued a kitten that was being abused. The idea was to help her over her trauma and give her to a young lady a few blocks over who had seen the cat being abused, asked my help and we got her. But the kitten fixated on me and refused to have anything to do with anyone else. Including my house mate. I would love to read a Fat Cat book. They are on my TBR, but have not been in a position to get one. So hoping this will be an early start. Della at deepotter at peoplepc dot com

We have a cat who used to tolerate a harness and leash. He'd prefer to run loose, of course.
ReplyDeleteI think he is part Hobbit--he's convinced there should be second (and third and fourth...) breakfasts and lunches and dinner.

I know there are some cats who will walk on a leash but I can't picture either of our cats on a leash. If I
ReplyDeleteeven tried it, they would probably demonstrate some interesting acrobatics. Janet Cantrell's Fat Cat series

Thak you for a chance to win a fantastic book! My daughter trained her cat to be toilet trained, I didn't belive it until I saw it with my own eyes! Merry [email protected]
ReplyDeleteI had a wonderful soul mate long furred black cat who was very smart and she learned early to walk on a lead. She loved it and went a lot of place with me. She pranced on a lead and loved exploring at hotels, rest stops and airports. My favorite was taking her to the airport where she pranced along and meowed to everyone. The TSA loved her as she was so fun to watch and funny. I think it takes a certain trust between owner and cat and only special cats are that trusting and bright. seascapelife at gmail dot com
