Book Description
Cats have a way of walking into our lives and making themselves right at home. No cat lover can imagine life without a feline presence — even if it is only as fleeting as the occasional conversation with a neighbourhood stray. Meow: A book of happiness for cat lovers is a compendium of delightful quotes that capture the essence of this fascination. Some are by famous people (Mark Twain, Jean Cocteau, Ernest Hemingway), others not; some are philosophical, others light-hearted — all are memorable. Accompanied by beautiful photography, and presented in a high-quality gift format, this is a collection of quotes to treasure.

Book Description
The past, present, and future of the world's most popular and beloved pet, from a leading evolutionary biologist and great cat lover. "Engaging and wide-ranging ... The Cat's Meow is a readable and informed exploration of the wildcat that lurks within Fluffy." —The Washington Post 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. Do lions and tigers meow? If not, why not? Why does my cat leave a dead mouse at my feet (or on my pillow)? Is a pet ocelot a bad idea? When and why did the cat make its real leap off the African plain? What’s with all those cats in Egyptian hieroglyphics? 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. Yet the cat, ever a predator, still seems only one paw out of the wild, and readily reverts to its feral ways as it occupies new lands around the world. Humans are transforming cats, and they in turn are transforming the world around them. This charming and intelligent book suggests what the future may hold for both Felis catus and Homo sapiens.

Book Description
A Pawsitively Purrfect trilogy featuring the matchmaking cats of the goddesses and the humans they’re determined to mate-match. Jackson is the sheriff of his shifter town in Catnapped. He deals with people all day long and for the most part, enjoys his job. Until the crazy human who just moved to town reports a catnapping. He’s not exactly leaping at the opportunity to track down a missing pet. Then he discovers the crazy human is his mate. Jefferson isn't happy when his sister-in-law hires a new receptionist for his auto repair shop without first consulting him in The Real McCat. He’s even more annoyed when he realizes the new hire is a bear, and not just any bear. She’s Kate Worcester of the Worcester bears and even worse, the only sister of Mason Worcester, the scariest grizzly of them all. And to top it all off, Jefferson’s pretty sure Kate Worcester is his mate. Mason's fallen in love with a kitten named Cleocatra in Unbearably Cute. Too bad his new brother-in-law refuses to share her. Determined to adopt his own kittens, Mason visits a local animal shelter, but is turned away by the woman in charge, who claims that no bears need apply. Rude! Who does this woman think she is? Especially since Mason is pretty sure she's a bear herself. Even if she does keep denying it. Either way, those kittens are his and no woman is standing in his way, no matter how sexy she is. These matches are off to a rocky start and it's up to the matchmaking cats of Pawsitively Purrfect Matches and the earthbound cats they've recruited to ensure these humans and shifters achieve their happily furever afters.

Book Description
Sparks (and fur!) fly both in and out of the courtroom in this sparkling new novel, second in Emily Carmichael's "Hearts of Gold" trilogy... When workaholic attorney McKenna Wright returns home from the hospital following a car accident, she has the sinking feeling that her road to recovery is going to be a long one. Her memory has more holes than a piece of swiss cheese; she can barely recall her own name, let alone the details of the big case she's been trying in court. And then there's the fact that her beloved cat, Nefertiti, has suddenly learned how to talk. Or is it that McKenna has suddenly learned how to listen? Not that she wants to hear what Titi is trying to tell her, because it just might turn her world even further upside down. Such as the fact that the music star she's been defending isn't all that innocent. And worse, that the hunky prosecutor McKenna condemned on sight is guilty of nothing more than his criminal good looks. But after losing her job and her house, and making no progress at finding her memory, McKenna needs all the help she can get to rebuild her life. She's determined to reclaim her fiercely independent former self, even if it means taking advice from her talking cat, listening to her bossy friends, or--worst of all--leaning just a little on the man she used to snub. Once her memory returns, she'll finally be able to put chatty felines and a certain entirely-too-handsome lawyer behind her so her life can return to normal. After all, normal is exactly what McKenna wants...isn't it? From the Paperback edition.
