title: Happy Cat: A Keepsake Journal for My Cat
author: Julie Glantz
description: "Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this." And neither should we, which is why this beautiful clothbound book exists: to serve as a repository for memories and photos of your own paragon of fabulous felinity. It has a space for its subject's photograph on the cover, and each page is a faded, sepia-toned image of cats in various poses; they're sharp enough to see, but light enough to provide a backdrop for your cat's stories, poetry, and praise. The photographs give a whimsical, almost Victorian feel to the journal. There are pages to fill with tales of "Favorite Places to Prowl and Perch," What Makes You Purr," and "Paw Prints for Posterity." A terrific gift for the cat lover (or cat) in your life. <i>--Katherine Ferguson</i>

   _The sliding glass door was locked. Leo tapped the Jag’s ignition key against
  the pane, a clinking that brought Beaumond’s eyes, yellow and dilated, out
  from behind the curtain. The dining room table was cluttered with boxes of
  baking soda, a roll of sandwich-sized baggies, and a jar of unlabeled powder._
  
   _Beaumond and Fernandez had gotten hold of two triplebeam scales,
  strategically angled near their places at the table. Dumped on the Business
  section of the Sunday_ Herald, _the k
