If you love cats, sharing makes us purrrr :-)

2013 top 10 cat books- Golden Purr Awards

2013 was a stellar year of the cat in fiction and nonfiction. We read over a hundred cat books and reviewed dozens. We selected 20 cat books for our suggested holiday gift guide (scrolling below) but only 10 books receive our Golden Purr Award for excellence in a cat writing. We read dozens of purr-worthy books this year but these made us purr just a little bit louder.
