Blaze Star's Review of Cat Love Letters and Christmas Gift Suggestions

This is Blaze Star Cat, head cat of Hummingbird Hill. It's been a while since I posted. I am so pleased that my new little protege, Pepper Cat, has done such a good job with her pages and I thought you'd enjoy hearing about the fabulous book that I just read. It would make a purr-fectly wonderful Christmas gift for the cat lover on your list.

Cat Love Letters by Leigh W. Rutledge is for all the romantics out there, whether they have two legs or four. This collection of correspondence of cats in love made me purr with delight and I must confess that I had to wipe my eyes a few times.

This book or one of the other cat books (like James Herriot's) that I recommend) would make excellent special occasion or Christmas gifts for any cat lovers. Oh, and the toys would make your favorite kitten or cat very happy. I really like the ping pong ball.

Blaze's Review

I just loved this book about six pairs of cats in love. The letters are laid out in scrapbook fashion and each cat has his or her own stationary and script. I was very amused by Nefertiti and Boo and was extremely touched by J.B. White Sock's search for his beloved Shasta.

I can't believe that a human wrote it. It's expresses our secret life so well. The human has to be a ghost writer for one of the cats in the book.

You must read Cat Love Letters and come back and let me know what you think in the Ghost Writer Duel below.

Amazon Price: $6.13 (as of 05/30/2012)Buy Now

Collected Correspondence of Cats in Love

The couples who wrote this interesting correspondence are:
Tonya and Peaches - a very young cat and an older, gentleman Tom
Snowball and Spitfire - A handsome, loving Tom and a self-centered little Spitfire
Shasta and J.B. White Socks - Star crossed lovers who are cruelly separated
Nefertiti and Boo - A couple who would rather fight than share
Mindy and D.W.Y. - The odd couple
Mabel and Grouch - The couple who shows that age has nothing to do with love.

Somewhere Out There

Surely J.B. White Socks and Shasta were singing this lovely song. I hope you enjoy listening while you view the rest of this lens.

Shasta
(Wisdom looks up Postcard by odd_eyed)


Shasta and J.B. White Socks warmed my heart with their undying love. J.B. White Socks is quite a Tom. If he weren't so dedicated to his lovely Shasta, I wouldn't mind him coming to take Dax's place in our house. Oh, to have someone so devoted to you that he would search the world to find you. Someone who would write (And I quote J.B.), "Since then I have spent my life, my every waking hour, in search of my beloved Shasta. I will not rest until I find her!" What a Tom!

Ghost Writer Duel

Do you think that Leigh W. Rutledge is a ghost writer for the cats?

Definitely, only a cat could write those letters.

OhMe says:

I agree with Blaze Star Cat and think that Rutledge has to be ghost writer for one of the cats.

I believe that Rutledge probably wrote the book.

 

Author Leigh W. Rutledge

This delightful human shares his house with thirty of our kind. I knew he had some help with this book. According to him, he patterned the characters in Cat Love Letters after some of the real cats that share his home.

This is a wise and loving human with a kind heart.

I found these toys on Amazon. Maybe if Nefertiti and Boo had known about ordering there, they wouldn't have fought so much.

Gifts for Cat Lovers

All Occasion Catty Gifts

My lady suggested that I add some All Occasion and Christmas gifts to my review of Cat Love Letters. Since she often has good ideas, I decided to feature some books, mugs, bags and shoes that any cat lover will enjoy. Of course they will sport images of us, the felines of the world.

I hope that this helps those wonderful humans who love our kind with their holiday shopping for their friends and family.
