Book Review: The Madness of Mercury
Today we present a brief review of The Madness of Mercury, the first book in the new Zodiac mystery
series by Connie di Marco. I am just going to say straight out that we were
doubtful that we would enjoy a mystery that is all wrapped up in astrology and
“Mercury retrograde” and “lunar returns” and such stuff. So we were pleasantly
surprised to find that this is a well-written and nicely
series by Connie di Marco. I am just going to say straight out that we were

Cat of the Week: Wall E at Bideawee, New York City
June is Adopt a Cat Month, and we are starting a new thing,
where each week we’ll feature a senior cat available for adoption. We remind
you that 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.
Look at that sweet face. Wall E

App Review: Purr
Today’s brief review is for an app called Purr. This app is
billed as an “adorable, live-action cat simulator,” and it’s free to download
from the App Store.
You may be wondering what one does with a live-action cat
simulator. Well, basically you choose one of five cats—two are available for
free, and the other three cost $1.99 each. When you choose your cat, you get a

Book Review: Probable Paws
I may have said this before, but I am going to say it again:
Mystic Notch, New Hampshire, is one of my favorite places in the world. Sure,
it’s fictional, and sure, people keep getting murdered there, but it has some
exceptional cats, plus a really neat bookstore where the ghosts of Robert Frost
and Franklin Pierce hang out—though the store’s owner seems to be the only
person who can see them.

App Review: Cat Match
Today we have a brief review of a fun and addictive tile-matching game called Cat Match. In this game, you are the manager of a cat rescue center. As cats come in to your admissions wing, you get them ready for rehoming by playing match-three games to fill in their “attribute bars.” When the bars are filled in, the cat moves on to the cat wing, ready to be adopted. It sounds simple, and we

A Guide to Cats, Colors, and Luck: It’s Complicated
Well, this doesn't look good for you. The post hasn't even started,and already there's a black cat on your path.Do you believe in luck?Stock image by Petra Kohlstädt via Adobe Stock.
Humans have all sorts of sayings about luck. For some
reason, humans have long thought that animals, including cats, have something
to do with luck. You know how bad humans are at remembering things, so
