This book of short stories is for the enjoyment of the child who hears or reads each story. Although these stories, of course, are fictional, the cats named in each story are or have been a real family cat at one time or another. And when the reader reads with enthusiasm, suspense, and laughter, the child will become engaged and will want to hear it over and over again, which instills in the child the good behavior implied in each story.The moral or good behavior in each story suggests a Christian character followed by a scripture that applies to that characteristic, such as being kind, loving others that may be different, not being a bully, and acknowledging and being thankful for the gifts and protection that God has given each of us. This is also an opportunity for the reader to interact more with the child in the teaching of these characteristics, which will ultimately and hopefully become a vital part of their lives as children and adults.At the end of each story, there is a short biography of the real cat and the true facts that are written within the context of the story. Also, at the end of the book are a few pictures of each cat in real life.

All the stories you will read in this book are true. My life and travel experiences are a collection of true short stories--some serious, some seriously spiritual, and some funny--covering over seventy years, fifty of which I have been a daughter to God. What exactly is my life worth? God gave his Son for me. That's huge. He did the same for you.I write this book for two reasons. The first, of course, is that you will get a glimpse of just how close God can be in your life even if you are not aware of it. God is always there for you as he has been for me.I will never leave thee or forsake thee. (Hebrews 13:5) The second reason is that laughing helps us live better. You will not only get a good laugh, but you will have an opportunity to share a good laugh with someone elseLet me explain the "cake" part of this book. I took a cake-decorating course in San Diego, California, after marriage and two children. I loved it, and I began volunteering to do cakes for everyone I could. These stories I call "cake consequences" are hilarious and are thrown in at the end of this book. They are all true regardless of how crazy or laughable they might read.
