Dear Booksharian Friends, Especially Cat Lovers!
Today or soon, watch for, A Cat's Christmas by Stefanie Samek, to be added to
the collection. It's 180 pages of uniquely cat oriented cat-themed Christmas
reading I think you'll love! It's got well known Christmas stories, poems and
carols adapted for cats, like:
Jingle bells,
Jingle bells,
Jingle on the door,
Oh what fun it is to hear
Them crashing to the floor!
You'd expect catnip at a cat's Christmas party, but the author, Stephanie Samek
gives specific suggestions like:
"Conscientious hosts will sprinkle catnip on the welcome mat and invite
visitors to roll in it--for instant Yowltide cheer."
Following a poem about a Cat's Christmas Wish List, the author begins a section
advising cats how to hint for what they want with:
"Although kitty vitamins and dematting combs may be things you need, they're
probably not the gifts you truly crave."
There are loads of Kitty Christmas Crafts, great for a snowy afternoon or for
your cat to do on a play date.
"Self-scent your presents by rubbing on them, rolling in them, licking them,
and dander-infusing the contents and the wraps."
There is even a form your upwardly mobile cat can quickly fill in to send to
his or her numerous social and business acquaintances.
I hope the Booksharian cat-lovers, and anyone who enjoys whimsy with a bit of
social commentary will find and enjoy our 7th Christmas offering for 2009.
Always with love,
Lissi
