There are two things I do on a monthly basis here on my blog. One is I review a book.
The other thing is my advice column. Every month I take a problem that a cat has written to me about, and I find a solution. I’ve been called the “Dear Abby of the feline world” by fellow cat author Quasi.
I started my advice column in September of 2003, about nine months after I was first online. It turned out to be one of the most popular sections of my site, so three years later, I put my advice columns together, added photos to illustrate each problem and made a book.
All this finally got the attention of a publishing company called Adams Media, and they wanted me to put together a new book of advice —
I wish I could put a book out every month, but that would probably be an awful lot of work!

Wow you do that nice….Happy hunting and weekend too.
Your post reminded me to read one of the books that I have been buying which I never found the time to read. Thanks for the reminder.
here’s my take.
Congratulations on such feline success!! and very nice to meet you. Happy weekend !
monthly…
Sparkle, You are the most awesome cat I have ever heard of. Your talents are second to none. Someone told me that I wouldn’t like you if I met you (I won’t name any names cause I don’t want your feelings to be even more hurt) but I think that person might be wrong. I’d love to meet you. And I think I would fall fast head over heels for you. I think you’re one of those purrfect cats, who are very far and few between.
Oh how exciting! We would like to get a copy when it comes out. If we send a copy to you, would you pawtograph it for us??
Oh my I love these photos!! Happy weekend!
Photo Hunt~Monthly
Do you get lots of letters asking for advice on kitty problems. We are very honoured to meet such a famous kitty. Yours respectfully Hannah and Lucy.
Wow! Your second book, Sparkle! We’re impressed! Congratulations!!
what great talents you have!
today’s theme is difficult but yours seems to be completed easily.
Now those are great recurring themes for your blog. I am sure Sparkle is a discerning reader and the provider of sage advice!
Concats on getting your second book published.
Wow! This is exciting. I didn’t know about your first book. Maybe when our green papers are better, we can get one!
Color coordinated chapters? I’d like to see that – sounds like you are just as organized as I am! (BTW – love the photos in this post)
Love the photo!
We will certainly purchase a copy! We have many problems to sort out with our Mommy…you know how it is!
I don’t review books, but I give them away at least once a month in a random drawing. Not the same kind of books, I suspect.
Congrats my friend!!! We love your blog, we bet we’d love your book too!
Concatulations on your second book Sparkle! We have the same question as Casbah Kitten, do you pawtograph them?
That’s a pretty big accomplishment for a cat, or anyone. I hope it helps all the other cats out there.
Yes, of course I can pawtograph them! I usually send personally pawtographed bookplates, so you don’t have to actually send me the book.
Wow, that’s quite amazing Sparkle!
We didn’t know about your book. Can we get it on Amazon?

Wow, congrats on your new book! My favorite picture is the first one 🙂
Wow! A book? We didnt know about it. Whee can we get it at???
Hi Sparkle! The kitty purring in the background of my bunnykicking video is my momma Ellie!
It’s so very exciting! You wouldn’t want to do a book review of my book would you?
