Feline Capers, an introduction


Starting next week: 
Chapter 1 of the latest write.

The series is called Feline Capers and there are eight parts, one a week for eight weeks. Think you can cope?



The dog tales were so successful I thought I’d try my hand at writing about a cat. I have firsthand knowledge of both yet it wasn’t easy writing about a cat. I’m not sure why. Is it because I like dogs more or could it be that dogs are easier to understand?

It’s a well known and proven fact that cats are more independent and this may be why I had to ‘invent’ some of the escapades. Inside, or should I say outside knowledge just wasn’t available. I mean who goes out with a cat to see what they get up to in those trees or behind bushes? It’s easier with domestic dogs because they’re there all the time.  We feed them, walk them, play with them, and nurse them; if I tried to feed the cat she would have stalked off in a royal huff. She was a loving cat, though, and I tried to include that in the writing.


The story is about a cat called Lee, which is the same name as the one I owned. I hope I kept her character alive.

  6. Yes! Yes! Yes!

    Bring on the Feline Capers, Valerie!

    I LOVE cats! Meow!

    And you're right, there is something a bit more difficult to understand about cats, which is why I'm probably fascinated with them.

    I'm SURE you'll do an amazing job in telling their story!

    Can't WAIT!

    Have a fabulous weekend, dear lady!

  9. Hi Ranita. How nice that you are with the Cat clan. It follows that you will understand the Feline Capers better than me ... grins. Seriously, it was a welcome and interesting piece of information. Thank you.
