My Cat Spit McGee was first published in 1998. I hadn’t heard of this book until one of our followers mentioned it as her all-time favorite when I had asked in a Facebook post about which cat books people read again and again, and I was intrigued.

I’m so thrilled with some of the early reviews that are coming in for Purrs of Wisdom, I just have to share some of my favorite excerpts with you!
