I really disliked this book. Of the thirteen stories, there are maybe two or three that I didn’t hate (I’m not saying I liked them, just that I didn’t completely hate them). Too many injured or dead cats, too many really awful characters, too much “humor” that simply wasn’t funny. Not recommended at all.
I enjoyed this set of feline mysteries. Favorite stories included "The Lady Wore Black" by Hugh B. Cave and "The Theft of the Mafia Cat" by Edward D. Hoch.
