SOLVED. YA/children: cat named Boneless [s]

[Leela4]

The book was probably a mystery. I seem to remember the protagonist--a girl--was staying with an aunt. The aunt--or a friend of the aunt--had a cat named Boneless because it would go completely limp whenever someone picked it up. At the time I was reading Phyllis A. Whitney and others of that sort, so perhaps this is one. For example, could someone check The Mystery of the Haunted Pool?

Well...I don't know what book it is...but I sure want to read it!

The Phyllis A. Whitney website has a more thorough description: http://www.phyllisawhitney.com/Myster...

It was the mention of the aunt and her shop that made me wonder if this might be the book.

Just in case you're still looking for confirmation:

A google search inside this book ("Mystery of the Haunted Pool") yields this snippet:

"Susan and her aunt had another cozy supper, with Boneless purring on the floor beside them ..."

I'd say that's good enough for me, because I'm positive I read "The Mystery of the Haunted Pool", and I don't recall any other books with cats named Boneless.
