Catnabbit gives Cat Pay the Devil by Shirley Rousseau Murphy 2 paws up!

It’s true that the cats who can read, talk, and write blogs on the Internet are a select few.  Fewer still are the cats who go the extra mile and fight crime with their human-esque talents.  If you are tired of humans stealing the show in all of the mystery novels you’ve read, then you have probably been missing out on Shirley Rousseau Murphy, author of the Joe Grey Mysteries.  There’s a new book out and you’re going to want to read it!

In Cat Pay the Devil, Molena Point has been shocked by the recent murders of three women.  Enter Joe Grey, feline superstar.  He talks, he sleuths, and he fights crime, all in the name of keeping Molena Point safe.  Enlisting the help his furry friends Dulcie and Kit, he assumes the task of discovering what has happened to these poor ladies.  Matters are complicated when Dulcie’s pet human, Wilma, is abducted by Cage Jones, an escaped convict.  What could he possibly want with her, and why is his former partner-in-crime Greeley Urzey back in town? 

We don’t want to spoil the ending for you, so you’ll have to read it for yourselves.

Winky the Safety Cat was one of the first cats with frickin’ laserbeams.  He rode in the backs of peoples’ cars and signaled when the car signaled.  However, the flashing red eyes must have caused several wrecks and murdered several people, because the original Winky family is no longer in business. 

Now, cats who live in trepidation of cats with frickin’ laserbeams may have a little more to fear:  a man who is clearly not a veterinarian has posted dialog and step-by-step instructions as to how one may install frickin’ laserbeams in their own cat, thus making their own Winky the White Cat at home.

This laser eye surgery, once thought to be an expensive and dangerous process, has been simplified to the point that nearly any human could complete the process.  cats should beware any humans holding feline wiring diagrams, a large stuffed cat that they “practice on,” replacement veins, arteries, and neural wiring that the human calls “electrical wiring.”  The cause for highest alarm should be the presence of laser pointers in the home.  Laser technology has advanced to include green laser pointers and blue ones, so that humans could even attempt to match the true colors of cats’ eyes.  A cat with a laser eye is considered to be highly dangerous and one should never look such a cat in the eye. 

Jessi Garza, a cat advocate from New Jersey, states that cats with frickin’ laserbeams are harmless, but the laser eye surgery could pose a danger if not completed by a licensed veterinarian.

Greetings! I am Nora, a gray marble tabby who has purr-fected playing the piano. Few cats are able to master the tonal contrast and beauty that the 1812 Catnip Overture has to offer. I am looking for an agent rather than a partner. I have dreams of becoming a concert pianist, purring and playing before thousands of cats who paid $75 a pop to sit and listen to my classy tones. The right agent will be lean, dark and handsome, wear sunglasses and a french beret. Together we will make music and rock the world! Are you the tom for me? If so, drop me a line!
