Thursday Thirteen-Plus!

Kitties!
We told you on Monday that Mommy LOVES to read.
And you may have figured out that Mommy also loves CATS!
So, what could be better than:
BOOKS ABOUT CATS?
Presenting: Mommy's Cat Book Collection!
There's some duplication in the photos...


...but we wanted to make sure you got a good look at them all!


This one is hissterical! Mommy got it from Daddy for her Birthday. The book came with some pretty funny magnets that are various types of Cat Butts. For easy identification purposes.



In fact, most of these books were gifts from Mommy's family and friends.
They understand her nuttiness.
And foster it too, apparently!



This author used to maintain a blog; these are some of her essays from her entries.
It's available through Lulu.com.




There's a Famous Local Las Vegas author's book in this group...do you know which one it is?




Mommy's Mommy gave her this one. It's a great children's book and has fabulous illustrations.
We like the lil' fang peeking out!




If you're a CatDaddy, please don't be offended by the "101 Reasons" book.
Seriously, we read it and we just didn't get it.
Mommy says it's full of ribaldry and innuendo.
And she said it like that's a good thing.
Whatever.

So Kitties, we hope you enjoyed the tour through Mommy's bookshelves. How many books did you count in all?
Nothing is better than sitting in Mommy's lap while she reads a book.
(except fudz, of course!)
Happy Thursday, Kitties!

  2. Now that's a library that has got Äiti twitching to go to Amazon..... She has many books too and kids herself that if she gets the same book in English and Finnish it'll help her learn my magnificent language. She hasn't quite realised she has to open the books though and READ, not just look at the pictures.
    I think we can write a new book of cat butt identification between us, but I want to be in charge of the camera !

  11. Mum has a few cats books but none mentioning cats butts!!

  12. These all look great! We especially like the Cat Butt Field Guide - we need one. Our mom says the Kliban book is a classic - she has one around here somewhere. And she has a Nicole Hollander book too (she's a great comic artist!), but it's called "Women who Love Cats too Much".

  13. What a great collection of cat books! We have an autographed Nicole Hollander book, she is so funny!

  17. We have Fin's book too, but Cat Butts sounds pretty interesting!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Your mommy has a great library full of kitty books! We saw several that we might have to get our mommy. She can't read sad ones cause she gets leaky at the thought of something sad happening to a kitty but we see several happy looking ones we'll get her!

  19. The Human used to have a large collection of kitty books, including many of these, but recently (CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS???) she gave them ALL away in a great purge-a-thon of her stuff!
    She went on a rampage of disposal, and when she decided what she was keeping, the books just didn't make the cut.
    She made a faux-paw though, because when she gave some of the books to Aggie & Wally's Dad, he told her that he had given one of them to her as a gift some years ago. Oops! MOL!
    Why do humans have such good memories?

  20. What a super groovy collection of kittie books! The BUTT one looks furry funny! And mom LOL'd at the 101 Reasons one! Our mom loves to read too..she reads scary/horror books. She's reading Eclipse right now.

    ReplyDelete
  21. P.S. The Human is happy that someone noticed the plant Aggie & Wally ruined is indeed in a bedpan. This reflects their Dad's lame, 3rd-grade sense of humor. Ha ha ha!

  24. "and then there are cat mysteries and SF/F books with cats like our mom reads plus a couple other cat books she has. She even has something about a Natural Cat and How to Speak to Your Cat and a homeopathic/natural book but it includes dogs so we try to ignore it." - Star

  25. Thats a good collection your mum has there.. My mum is much the same.. Funny things our mum's Hugs GJ x

  26. Excellent collection. Our mom sees many she wants to add to her book wish list. She reads to us from a book called Poetry for Cats by the same author as the French for Cats book your mom has - hilarious! Tho as usual, dog things, including books, outnumber the cat things here...hmmm...we feel a revolt coming on...

  27. Momma has a whole bookcase full of cat books. She loves reading true stories about kitties. She must admit when she was reading Dewey's book it was a shock all of a sudden when Dewey went to the Bridge that Momma just started boo-hooin and I came running to her and patted her shoulder and whisker kissed her and made her feel all better. She is funny that way.

  28. If you want to add to your collection and you like mysteries, have you read any of, "The Cat Who" books by Lilian Jackson Braun? Our Grammom loves her stories and has all of her books. She also likes Jill Churchill's Cat stories named after song titles. Mommy hopes to find the time for reading......someday=^Y^=

  29. Wow your Mommy has lotsa books on kitties - she must be darn near an expert on us!! That's a little scary - does she know when you're about to do something naughty just by your body language??? Ours doesn't - but she catches us in the act all the time with that stupid water gun!!!

    We hope you have a wonderful day!!

    ~Nico, Simon & JayJay :)

    ps. Simon didn't go for the shirt idea - he flipped out... So Mom has just taken to scooping him up & loving on him whenever he starts to scratch!

  30. An excellent collection. Our mom has one of her own going too!

  31. Most said there are sum excellent books there ~ and we recognised Fin's book.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Ha! There is Fin's book!!! Pawsome!

    My mom has some of the same books, and she has others too! I think she should do a similar post because she has a lot of kitty books too. Kitty books are better than other books...unless they are books on how to grow catnip.
