Book Review: Lawyer for the Cat

Most cats don’t have lawyers. Most cats don’t need lawyers.
But any cat who needed a lawyer would be fortunate to have one who is as diligent,
honest, and conscientious as Sarah Bright Baynard, a.k.a. Sally, the
protagonist of Lee Robinson’s thoroughly enjoyable new book, Lawyer for the Cat.

a lot; she’s “represented the full

Cat of the Week: Matches in Washington, DC

Welcome, friends. Just a reminder that June is Adopt a Cat
Month, and this month we are kicking off a new feature, where each week we’ll
feature a senior cat available for adoption. Older cats make great pets: they
can be wonderful companions and good lap warmers, and they’re unlikely to climb
the curtains. Even if you can’t adopt one of the featured cats, keep seniors in
mind when you do adopt.

Today we are very pleased to welcome Marci Jarvis to our blog. Marci is a member
of the Cats on Stamps Study Unit (COSSU) and editor of its award-winning
newsletter, Cat Mews. Marci was smart
enough to schedule her trip to the recent World Stamp Show in New York so she

enough to do this, and so we’ve asked Marci to

Book Review: Breaking Cat News

You know how sometimes you’re watching a good show, and all
of a sudden the network interrupts with “breaking” news that really could wait
until the regular newscast? It’s annoying, right? But think of how much less
annoyed you’d be if the report was delivered by a cute cat and the news was
something like “The man is taking a nap on the couch.”



That would be great, wouldn’t it? I know.

Breaking News: Cats Understand Physics

You’ve probably heard the jokes about cats being “gravity
testers” (you know, a cat knocks something off a shelf to “test gravity”).
Until now, this has merely been a source of amusement for humans. But

about physics. Because cats are brilliant.



The study
