to realize you have no idea what she is saying to you? This happens all the
time

Book Review: A Whisker of Trouble
Our reading and reviewing adventures return us this week to North
Harbor, Maine, and the engaging characters of Sofie Ryan’s Second Chance Cat
mystery series. Those characters include one Elvis the black cat, who enjoys
watching Jeopardy!, is a backseat
driver no matter which seat he is in, and might—might, mind you—be able to tell when someone is lying. Naturally,

The Pet Blogger Bloopers Round-up--March
Hi, friends. It's time again for the Pet Blogger Bloopers Round-Up, hosted by The Lazy Pit Bull. The round-up is a blog hop that happens the second Friday of each month, and it's a chance to see the results of some pet photo shoots gone wrong (which would be most photo shoots that She of Little Talent is involved in).
This month we once again have a photo of the lovely Real Cat Paisley.

Legends of the Maine Coon

No one knows for certain the origins of the large, thick-coated
American cat called the Maine Coon. But an absence of certainty can always be
filled in with a great story, however implausible, and the lore of the Maine Coon
is crazy with stories. We’ll get to those, but first let’s meet the breed.

App Review: Weather Whiskers
I have said it before, and I’ll say it again (and again and
again): Everything is better with cats. Even weather is better with cats, as
the geniuses behind the Weather Whiskers app obviously know.
Need a happiness boost during a snowstorm? This cat could help you out.
Weather Whiskers, available for both iOS and Android
devices, gives current weather conditions, a four-day forecast…

Book Review: A Deadly Tail
You’ve got to love a book that starts with this line: “Let’s
get this out of the way right now: My life is weird.” Even more, you’ve got to
love a book that delivers on the tantalizing promise contained in that line.
Weirdness, of the sort that Dixie Lyle consistently gives us in the Whisky,
Tango & Foxtrot series? Oh yes, please!

Book Review: Alley Cat Rescue’s Guide to Managing Community Cats
This book could be titled The Encyclopedia of Community Cat Management,
because an encyclopedia is what it really is. Only it’s not some dry old tome
filled with short entries that somehow always leave you needing more. Instead,
it’s an interesting read, whether you read it cover to cover or dip into one of
the chapters to study up on a specific topic.

App Review: Neko Atsume
Socks and Cocoa spend sometime playing and sleepingon the snow sled.
The kitty-collecting game Neko Atsume is all the rage among,
for lack of a better term, cat gamers, and it’s easy to see why. First, it’s
available for free download on both Android and iOS devices. Second, it reminds
us a lot of what it’s like to try to make friends with actual cats (i.e., the
cat controls the pace). Third
