Warning: I'm making lists... and will without hesitation pick and choose as the Catwhisker Digest (over there at Catwhisker.net) is set for a makeover.

Summon the Keeper for fiction with a cat who talks like cats would talk, if you know what I mean. Book of Night with Moon also rings true. Gallico's The Silent Miaow is a well-loved classic, especially as one of my current cats is a master of the silent miaow. I'm also very fond of Merlin in I Dare, but his role (though critical) was rather small in the scope of the book. For nonfiction reference, The Book of the Cat by Michael Wright is what I reach for first.

Favorite cat toys of my three are the fruit-shaped catnip toys by Yeowww! The lemon is most favored but is very tattered, and the local store hasn't had replacements when I've been in--the banana shape suffices instead. I must also confess that Fish finds the little ceramic pellets tracked from the "Breeze" litter box to be great for batting around on the floor.
