A note from the editor and her favorite feline:
This morning as I look outside I see...
The snowflakes are slowly drifting down, but the roads
are melting them away. The grass is sharing them; so,
there is a pretty speckle on the the ground for us to enjoy.
Until, there are so many they are taking over the land!
Winter is coming to Upstate NY. It is definitely time to
gather up those cozies and get snuggled under a blanket
with your favorite felines.
I have reminded my favorite feline that it is time for her
to decide. Yes... what is her favorite recipe from "Sneaky
Pie's Cookbook"? Will it be "Pewter's Favorite Crab" or
"Salmon Pie"? Yum, she places her paw on my hand to
agree. Then she does her "Natasha Nose Nuzzle" not
to my nose, but to the back bookcover. Oh, I see.
New Year's Tuna which is very basic: tuna mixed in milk.
Yucky to humans, but a delight to felines, it is.
Happy Reading!

1. Book Clue for upcoming Tash Review
======================================
" ... Salvatore raised his head at Annabel, his affable leer
becoming more affable than ever. Another pretty little female
and a large roasted chicken. He head-butted Annabel's
arm fondly. What a splendid establishment this woman ran!
Sally wasn't so sure. She circled Sassy's still form cautiously
and ignored the blandishments of roast chicken. She seemed
profoundly uneasy and, with every sniff of the recumbent form,
she became more unsettled. She gave Annabel a questioning look.
"I wish I knew, " Annabel said wearily. ..."
Can you guess what I am reading?
Read on ... You will find the answer.

2. Cat Tales
======================================
Cats On Quilts ...
Sandi Fox
October 2000
From the Publisher:
Cat lovers, quilt collectors, and crafts enthusiasts alike
will enjoy this delightful book devoted to images of fascinating
felines adorning beautifully made quilts dating from 1840 to
the mid-20th century.
Sandi Fox discusses the changing styles and techniques of
quiltmaking over the past 100 years, identifying the origins
of various designs. Cats and kittens are shown sitting erect,
moving among boughs of berries, tumbling on a table with a
ball of yarn, or peeping from a basket. Each beautifully
photographed quilt is paired with poetry or prose drawn from
works by Emily Dickinson, T.S. Eliot, W.B. yeats, Mark Twain,
Rudyard Kipling, Beatrix Potter, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and
other wonderful writers—adding further appeal to a charming
gift book.
('Tis Tashie here...
A princess snuggle muffin that I am! It would only make sense that
a kitty on a quilt goes together well. I love to snuggle under the
common blanket too.)

Cats on Quilts ...
The Cat Who... Cookbook
Julie Murphy, Sally Stempinski
October 2000
From the Publisher
More than 200 recipes for mystery fans with finicky tastes...
As fans of Lilian Jackson Braun's mystery series know, food plays
a not insubstantial part in her books, and now Murphy and
Stempinski, a mother-and-daughter cooking team who have
thrown "The Cat Who " theme parties, provide the recipes to go
along with them. They offer menus for 22 of Braun's titles, along
with a sampling of " la carte" recipes for each; quotations from the
books serve as headnotes. There's also a chapter listing suggested
"Feline Fare"--Braun's cats disdain catfood, preferring instead such
delicacies as smoked oysters and tenderloin tips.
('Tis Tashie here...
Yum...
KoKo & Yum Yum have gourmet tastes. I am sure
I will like this book too.)

The Cat Who Smelled a Rat
Lilian Jackson Braun
January 2001
From the Publisher:
October arrives in Moose County on the heels of a long
drought, and the citizens of Pickax worry about wildfires.
Their fears are realized in an unexpected manner, with a case
of arson-and the shooting of a volunteer fire-watcher as he is
reporting the blaze. The crime wave continues as the president
of the curling club is pushed to his death down a flight of stairs,
and it's up to Qwilleran & Co. to sniff out the rat who is
This book will be available in January,

responsible for it all.
Hanging Hannah
Evan Marshall
May 2000
From the Critics:
From Libray Journal:
Airy prose, domestic subplots, and an appealing heroine
characterize this second title in the series. Literary agent
Jane Stuart, living in bucolic Shady Hills, NJ, gained local
fame when she investigated the disappearance of her son's
nanny (Missing Marlene). This time, she helps solve the case
of a woman found hanging in the woods behind the local inn.
A filched quilt, a crazy-acting cat, a ghostly girl in the twilight,
an incipient romance with a handsome detective, and a client's
publishing party all contribute highlights to a deftly handled
plot. For most collections. Copyright 2000 Cahners
