Just as I was about to start writing up the review on this charming book--my cat decided that my asthma inhaler belonged way back behind my desk--never mind I have a bad leg lately--I had to get down on my hands and knees and stretch to get it--I got it--but needless to say I needed quite a few puffs after that ordeal. My cat wanted me off the computer and I wasn't paying attention! Yes, cats are smart and know just how to get you to do their bidding one way or another. Unlike Rags my cat is very vocal and meows her needs--or like Rags--things go flying!!
Since Rags can not speak this book was written by his slave and companion. It takes you through when she first adopted him--to pretty much the current time. I have read every single one of the Klepto Mysteries to date (I don't think I missed any). This memoir brought back many memories of those books and I found myself shaking my head in agreement.
I would like to add one more thing about Baby-my cat--she definitely know who she likes and who she does not like. An old boyfriend showed up and she went into hiding in my closet (of course he did threaten to throw her out the 7th floor window!). I was in the living room but came back into my bedroom for a moment. As I was about to walk out the door again she struck her head out and was whisper meowing to me. She was trying to convince me he was no good and to get rid of him--I am positive of that. Well she was right he was up to no good and has never returned!! On the other hand there are people she really likes--if they don't come right over to pet her hello--a very loud indignant MEOW is issued. They get the message!!
Whether you have a cat or not you will love this series and this memoir is not to be missed!!
About the Book: (from Amazon)
This is the life story of Rags, the amazing, precocious cat who stars in the Klepto Cat Mystery series. Read about his precarious kittenhood. Marvel at some of his intriguing and touching teenage escapades. And delight in revisiting many of his more recent adventures. Rags is a cat with a purpose. While some people believe it’s to cause chaos, others see this feline as a knight in furry armor. If we could get into Rags’s head, however, we’d probably see that it’s filled with butterflies and trinkets. Yes, he marches along in life to the beat of a different drummer and leaves behind an assortment of reactions. Is Rags clever or naïve, intuitive or fluky, smart or lucky? And does it really matter? One thing’s for sure, he makes an impression wherever he goes and that’s just the way his fans like it

Seems like a funny book.
You know your cats, made me laugh just reading the review. I could see my cat doing these same things.
I'm not really a cat person but I do know a few folks who would enjoy this book!
Cool cat!
I had not heard of this series before now.
I had not heard of this series before now.
I've not heard of this series. How many more books are expected?
I seen a video of a cat on Youtube or Funniest Videos or somewhere that it would leave the house at night and steal all kinds of things from the neighbors and bring them home. It was so funny.
One of my cats, when the kids were growing up, use to try to steal their little snack baggies of (specifically mini marshmallows or gummy bears) and I would catch her throwing them in the air and tossing them behind the bookcase or dragging them all the way down the stairs. haha. But that is all she "stole".
Our current cat is an Oriental Shorthair and is extremely unique both in appearance and personality but she doesn't steal, as a matter of fact she has watched a cute field mouse and our Cockatiel bird steal HER cat food and just watches them and looks at me as if... Sighhhh... there they go stealing MY stuff again. What's a purr purr princess to do?! teehee.
Looks like a nice book to read.
My friend Dave, who owns a cat would love to read this book.

Looks like an engrossing book to read.
Need to buy you a reacher so the next you don't have to get down on the floor. You sound just like with my cat.
Looks like a relaxing book to read.
Sounds like my cat. She grabs anything she can get her paws on.
If the story is like your cat it will be good
I've heard about this cat! Or there are more than one klepto cat in this world! When I was a kid, our dog was a klepto dog - she would go out at night and dig through the neighbors' garbage. When she found something she would bring it back to our front yard for everyone to see the next morning!
It have heard of this cat.
Such a cool looking book to read.
my dumb cat think she mom even thosugh she fixed she has taken car f 2 set of rabbits bring up on poarch to cool off and then drink water
My cat would not go near my computer all day long. The minute I would start to use my billie all over that computer. Cats are my favorite and the book sounds interesting
This sounds awesome!
I love anything to do with any animals at all. My husband and I crazy LOVE all animals and can't get enough of them! I really like the idea of getting into Rags' mind, it reminds me of how we are always wishing we could know what all the animals we love are thinking at any given time. how fun!
This series is new to me. I am sure I will love it!
sounds like a interesting book and love how her cat acts
That looks like a fun book. I miss having a cat.
This book shows great imagination.
