Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Would you believe... a book written by a cat? Why not? Cats are observant, creative and ingenious. And author Patricia Fish should know, since she has observed them often and carefully enough to capture the cat's particular brand of humor and intelligence... at least, that of one particular calico cat. When Josephine the calico learns to type, she finds herself embroiled in human politics that affect animals throughout the nation. She gets involved with the animals in her backyard, including the arrogant blue jays, busy chickadee families, and infuriating squirrels. Will she succeed in finding a way to help the animals and birds, or just get her humans arrested?

5.0 out of 5 stars An easy-read mystery, June 4, 2005

By	Joan Kay (Maryland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Josephine Fish is a pensive, intelligent calico and the unlikely heroine of the book that bears her name. When we first meet Josephine we realize she's no ordinary housecat: She alone in the animal kingdom, or those outside of the human race, is able to communicate through the written word, and Miss Josephine has worked diligently to perfect her skills on her "female human's" computer. When the local wildlife discover Josephine's unusual talent, she's ensnared into the nitty-gritty of political activism. Crafty use of the ancient art of blackmail catches the political world unaware when Josephine votes her conscience and follows the commands of the brusque but efficient Mr. Blue Jay. Soon, politicians across America begin to buckle under the pressure, brought by the mysterious E-mails pouring out of the Fish's peaceful, suburban household, to do right by the animal world - or else.
The author of this well-paced mystery has found the perfect blend of suspense and humor that force us book-lovers to miss our beauty sleep to find out whodunit. Thank you to Patricia Fish for sharing Josephine with the rest of us.
