Release of The Mythmakers!

We are beyond thrilled that today is the release of book 5 in the Miss Cuddlywumps Investigates series!







In "The Mythmakers," I, Miss Cuddlywumps, am the hero, obviously, as I match wits with some people who are making myths the modern way, on YouTube. Too bad at least one of these mythmakers is apparently not above killing, for reasons that are not entirely clear until the very end of the

Cat of the Week: Hopey in Baltimore

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month!
There’s no better time to welcome an older cat into your home.



Each
week in this space, we feature an older adult or senior cat (7 years +) in need
of adoption or sponsorship. Mature cats make great companions, and unlike
kittens, they (probably) won’t climb the curtains! Adopt an older cat, and help
them enjoy the best years of their life.

Book Review: Familiar Motives

On this Mysterious Monday, we bring you our review of book 3 of
Delia James’s Witch’s Cat mystery series, Familiar
Motives. As the series title indicates, this book features plenty of
witches and a couple of pretty terrific cats. It is the first book we have read
in this series, but we had no trouble getting right into the story.

Sunday Selfie: Real Cat Webster

Real Cat Webster did this week's Sunday Selfie. He took this selfie of him sitting with his mommy (old SoLT) the night she returned from her recent trip. He was so happy she was home!

Caturday Art: Real Cats Webster and Paisley

We kept things simple for Caturday Art this week, using just one quick effect from Lunapic. It's the Edtaonisl art effect, with an added 3-D canvas border:




We had no idea what Edtaonisl meant, so of course we googled it and learned that it is the sort of made-up title of a 1913 painting by Francis Picabia (whom we had never heard of before, so that shows you how much we know about art history

Words with Webster: Thermoneutral Zone, Plus Friendly Fill-Ins

We have two fun Friday features for you today. First up is
Real Cat Webster, who has a  scientific word
to share. After that, it’s on to Friendly Fill-Ins!



Words with Webster

Hi, everybody! It’s me, Real Cat Webster. Welcome to Words
with Me. Today’s word is “thermoneutral zone.” I know, technically that’s two
words, but just go with it, okay? It’s also called TNZ for short, so let’s just

New Trailer for Miss Cuddlywumps Investigates Mystery Series

Well, old SoLT is finally back at her desk and ready to blog again. She has wanted to have time to create a book trailer, and she has all kinds of fantastic ideas for animation and such, but I reminded her to start small and simple. Believe me, she had enough challenges putting this together. We hope you enjoy it!




And this seems like the perfect time to remind you that Book 5 in the series,

Happy Halloween!

All of us here at The Cuddlywumps Cat Chronicles wish you a safe & happy Halloween!

Old SoLT will be taking a much-needed break over the next week while she's out of town visiting her Gramma. We'll try to catch up on visiting our friends' blogs then. See you soon!

Cat Classics on Film: The Legend of Hell House (1973)

Today’s Cat Classic, The
Legend of Hell House, directed by John Hough, is a haunted house movie that
we did not find to be especially frightening. The cat is not a major player,
and his supposedly horrifying scenes are (a) not horrifying and (b) kind of nonsensical.
Nevertheless, Halloween is coming, and if you’re looking for a kind-of-good
haunt film, this one is worth a look.
