Why is a cat like a book? Take 4
I was going out for a walk the other day and noticed Kitty O sitting right in front of my neighbor's house. He had found the one spot of sun and was etched, very gracefully, against the yellow wall, which showed off his grey furs to perfection. My neighbor's house had never looked this good, or so I thought.
And that is when it occurred to me that a cat is just like a book, for both dress up a house. Whenever I go to someone's house, I find myself seeking out a bookcase. It isn't so much what type of books they have; the fact that they have books at all tells me we are kindred spirits.
So too a cat. Whoever has a cat lets me know that we share a love of furry creatures, a good starting point for both a conversation and a relationship.
I'm not sure Kitty O will like being compared to a book. I can't ask him, and neither can I ask a book....(would this make it another way they are alike?)
I always try and sneak a cat into a book that I am writing. My next novel in the Commissioner Oscar D'Costa series, "While the Children Slept," has missing children, confusion as to why they are missing, a setting of beach and forest in the east of India, intrepid D'Costa ...and a cat, of course.

Interesting.....me too....I look at what kind of paintings there are in a home that I often walk into. Tells me about the owner....looking at what hangs in the wall tells you more than what he or she could ever tell you....
