Looking for a wonderful holiday gift for the cat lovers in your life? I’m pleased to share with you this fun anthology of true Christmas cat-theme stories. And yes, you’ll read one of my stories in the book, too. The Cat in the Christmas Tree stories make you smile, laugh out loud, and enjoy that purring mound of fur who shares your life (and probably your pillow!).

The Cat In The Christmas Tree

Christmas is a time for joy, wonder, and a little bit of mischief. Does any creature manifest these attitudes better than a cat? Their fascination with all those breakable ornaments on the tree and their appreciation of a cozy spot to nap seem made for the season. The way they alternate between calm and crazy echoes the way we all feel at Christmas, doesn’t it? And that’s just what you get with The Cat in the Christmas Tree.

This collection of true, feel-good holiday stories by various writers celebrates the gift of cats and delivers all the warm fuzzies you could desire. It’s the perfect companion for those magical Christmas evenings in front of the fireplace with your favorite feline. The Cat In The Christmas Tree also makes the purrfect gift for cat-loving friends.

What’s In The Book?

Precocious and curious, batting at ornaments, pawing at presents, and running off with ribbons–cats enjoy Christmas in their own unique ways. As they alternate between calm and crazy, we see ourselves in those warm, furry creatures we just can’t seem to keep out of the Christmas tree. Add in a healthy dose of mischief, mystery, and magic, and it’s almost as if cats were created specifically for Christmastime.

The stories in this delightful 173-page collection will have you believing just that. In these pages, you’ll meet:

• Kitty, who causes momentary hysteria when he brings an unexpected gift to a Christmas party
• Grungy, who stands up to a Saint Bernard and wins admiration–and a stocking full of catnip–from a man who always said he did not like cats
• Lucy, a Russian Blue who passes on her disdain for human singing–yes, even Christmas carols–to her protégé, Tiki
• Seren-Kitty, who knew exactly how to convince a reluctant human to adopt her
• and many more

These true, feel-good holiday stories are the perfect companion for those long winter evenings in front of the fireplace with your favorite feline. This book also makes a heartfelt gift for anyone who loves cats.
