Cats, Roses...and Books!: #FelineFriday--Cats This Week by Karen Rose Smith 6/26

This week our cats did a combination of exploring the world and helping me! Zoie and Paddy especially like to "help" in my office. And Paddy has decided the kitchen counters are her space too and she likes to "help" there...even when she's not hungry. But I love having them around wherever they choose to be. Here's a glimpse of our week.

A big box arrived this week and London

and Paddy had to explore.

London won

the box first and then Paddy took claim too.

Paddy helped me "organize" my file cabinet!

At eleven months, Paddy still has her
kitty curiosity and playfulness.

Through it all, Halo sleeps,
even when we run the sweeper!

Even with storms, Sunnybud had a fairly calm week. Several mornings we found him snoozing in the sun room attached to our basement. We keep it open. I found a shelter we can put in there for winter. Soon it will be time to introduce it to let Sunny get used to it.

Until next week...

Karen's Search For Love Series Website

USA TODAY Bestselling Author Karen Rose Smith is an only child who delved into books at an early age. She learned about kindred spirits from Anne of Green Gables, solved mysteries with Nancy Drew and wished she could have been the rider on The Black Stallion. Yet even though she escaped often into story worlds, she had many aunts, uncles and cousins around her on weekends. Her sense of family and relationships began there. Maybe that's why families are a strong theme in her novels, whether mysteries or romances. Her 87th novel will be released in 2015.

Readers often ask her about her pastimes. She has herb, flowers and vegetable gardens that help her relax. In the winter, she cooks rather than gardens. And year round she spends most of her time with her husband, as well as her four rescued cats who are her constant companions. They chase rainbows from sun catchers, reminding her life isn't all about work, awards and bestseller lists. Everyone needs that rainbow to chase.

Karen looks forward to interacting with readers. They can find her at the links below.
