Cat Seeing Double (2003)
I thought this breathed a bit of life into the series in terms of having the cats be cats for a while; the first chunk of the book is seen through the eyes of people who don't know that Kit, Joe, and Dulcie can talk, so they get to be just odd cats. I liked this in terms of being reminded that t...

Cat Pay the Devil (2007)
Why oh why does my library only have three out of this whole series? These books are great, but I'm reading them all out of order and I'd love to start at the beginning! The plot is fast paced and fresh, although I'm a little confused by the characters names (Charlie and Ryan are female lol, I wa...

Cat Breaking Free (2006)
Once I get past the problem of talking cats: talking, crime-fighting housecats ... come to think of it, maybe I can't get past that. This is definitely a series for cat lovers: soppy, anthropomorphizing cat lovers. Okay, I pretend my cats talk, but I don't go much beyond "Why don't you feed me?...
Cat Bearing Gifts LP (2012)
This book starts with a bang and the action rarely slows down until the last page is read. Although part of a series about the same cast of characters, back story is added in bits often in dialogue so it never seems to slow the story down.This book revolves around Kit and Pan from among the cats....

Cat Striking Back (2009)
Liked this one quite a bit. I read the Joe Grey's for the characters & the village life rather than for the mystery aspect. I like the way she wrote part of the action from the perp's point of view but never gave enough identifying detail to pinpoint just WHO he was. A bunch of possibles were in...
Cat Deck the Halls (2007)
This was a Nook Book deal, and it was ok. I didn't mind that the cats could talk so that humans could understand them, but the mystery was convoluted and somewhat obvious from the first intro of one of the characters. Ya just had to know it was him early on by his actions.I like the Rita Mae Br...
