Tortie Shorties Review: This sweet little gift book will look right at home on any cat lover's bookshelf, filled with words of wisdom about how to better your own life by taking lessons from your cat. Anyone who shares their home with a feline friend will recognize the wisdom contained within its pages, but with the crazy lives we humans lead a refresher course is always welcome! I especially enjoyed the darling illustrations and famous cat quote on each page. Each one would be suitable for framing!
In Seafurrers, able sea cat Bart sets the record straight at last. “Fear of water” aside, cats were indispensable at sea—both as pest controllers and as beloved mascots. Thirty–eight tales recount the adventures of Trim (who circumnavigated Australia), Tom (the sole feline survivor of the sinking of the USS Maine), celebrity cat Simon (a veteran of the Yangtze Incident), and other furry heroes.
Filled with nautical trivia, rare photographs, and whimsical illustrations, this deft genealogy of human–feline friendship will stir your regard for the incomparable cat—whether on the couch or in the crow’s nest!
Tortie Shorties Review: A fun look inside the history of a seaman's best friend - the cat! Each section begins with a journal entry or news article about a ship's cat, sometimes accompanied by a photo, and then transitions into a narrative related in some way to the excerpt. My favorite passages included stories on ghost ships and a group of penguins that befriended some seafurrers, although in some places I found the maritime history not related to cats to be a bit dry causing me to do a little skimming. Lots of fascinating information presented in a creative way.

Both sound like wonderful reads. I'll have to recommend them to these two book fiends.
MOL! I reviewed Seafurrers today too. I even loved the parts not directly related to cats! Cat Wisdom sounds great too. :)
Thanks, Melissa (and Mudpie)!
These sound like such fun reads! More books should be focused on the life lessons we can learn from cats. After all, cats are so very wise. Purrs!
Both sound like good book additions, though we bet we'd argue over some of that wisdom. Some cats, who shall remain anonymous, think their wisdom is the ONLY wisdom. MOL!
Wow, two really cool books! Thank you for the reviews!
I love the Seafurrers book, it looks so much fun!!

Sounds like a couple of good reads :)
Purrs Georgia,Julie and JJ
ha ha--still laughing at that photo of the cat in the captain's hat and pipe!
These both look great.
Seafarers is on my wishlist, sounds like cat wisdom should be too
Both sound like good books. I love the cover of Cat Wisdom.
