Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Cat lovers should enjoy reading these selections (some original, some previously published) if they find this eclectic assortment under the Christmas tree. Murphy, the author of a popular mystery series featuring a feline crime-solver (Cat Cross Their Graves) presents 19 short stories, essays and poems that commemorate cats at Christmastime. Amy D. Shojai leads off with a lighthearted memoir of how her husband, Mahmoud, definitely not a cat fancier, came to adjust to his wife's feisty and energetic Siamese kitten just in time for the holiday. Far more sobering is a recollection by Renie Burghardt: during WWII her 19-year-old mother died shortly after giving birth to her. She left behind Paprika, her 10-year-old cat, who consoled the young child when she and her grandparents sought safety in rural war-torn Hungary. Instead of offering a sample from one of her mysteries, editor Murphy's sentimental and well-written story "The Noel Cat" describes how a librarian and her brother, the town vagrant, reunite a cat family on Christmas Eve. There's something for everyone, including an informative piece by Christine Church on holiday safety for cats. Dog fanciers might prefer the companion volume, Christmas Dogs, intro by Lauren Berenson ($9.95 paper 224p ISBN 1596091576).

Christmas Cats, Dec 8 2008
By Zarabeth "Vona" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Christmas Cats (Mass Market Paperback)
Bought two coopies one for me and one for my sister. Just finished mine today and loved the sweet stories! Ms Murphy is one of my favorite writers so I figured this compliation would be excellent and it was. A couple of stories weren't as delightful as some but I do understand why they were included--Safty at Christmas--is very important for those who don't know that kitties cannot have chocolate nor alchol or strins--they can swollow them and die! But the rest was pure cat enjoyment! i highly recomend this book to anyone who even remotely likes cats!
