Dear All,

This morning I had a patron ask me if I knew about a book about a cat who
traveled on the shoulders of his owner on airplanes and buses. The cat was
amazingly smart and was Scottish. The woman also remembered that the cat
had
fold-over ears. She thinks that the author of this book originally came
from
California. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Might be the books by Peter Gethers: The Cat Who Went Abroad and The Cat
Who Went to Paris.

I'm sure you'll get lots of replies, but these books are "The Cat Who Went
to Paris" and "A Cat Abroad" by Peter Gethers. The cat is a Scottish Fold
breed. They are great nonfiction reads!

These are by Paul Gethers, Cat Abroad and Cat Who Went to Paris. I think
the cat died this past year. They are wonderfully warm and humorous
stories, especially if you like cats.

There is a breed of cats called "Scottish Folds" with ears that bend over.
Please look at the cats Baker and Taylor, namesakes from the book vendor.

The opinions are my own; the library wouldn't want 'em!

Norton the wonder cat was the star of the two delightful non-fiction books
by Peter Gethers. Alas, Norton died this past May of age-related illnesses.

People magazine had a touching story with photo in their 5-31-99 issue, p.
77.

Apropos of very little, Gethers is really good friends with David Handler,
author of the Stuart Hoag mystery series, starring Lulu the basset hound
with breath bad enough to peel paint, owing to her penchant for fishy cat
food.

Gethers and Handler also wrote a trhiller under the pseudonym Russell
Andrews: title of the book is Gideon.

They probably should stick to writing from the animals' points of view.
