Curl Up with a Cat Tale features humorous and heartwarming short stories about the ongoing adventures of Gwen Cooper’s feline family. I reviewed the first story in the series, I Choo-Choo-Choose You, and the second story, Stop Trying to Make Fetch Happen, in May. I finally had a chance to catch up on June, July and August’s stories.

Them! A Story in Five Parts features Gwen’s current cats, Fanny and Clayton, and gives us a look at Gwen’s day to day life as a writer. It also features one of the funniest sequences I’ve seen in a cat book in a very long time. I read this story on my flight to CatCon, and I couldn’t help myself, I snorted with laughter. The person in the seat next to me looked at me like I was slightly deranged before she asked me what I was reading.

I also caught up on The Picasso of Pee, featuring Vashti, who took outside the litter box thinking to an art form, and Cat Carrier Tango, a  Murphy’s law kind of story in which everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Both stories are as wonderful as all the others in the series.
