Jack's News!

  by your bookstore cat,  gossip columnist, and feline friend. 

 For everyone worried about SmashWords listings ( greatly behind since Shelley left), Arline is learning how to do it. In fact, now that all the tax stuff is finished, and everyone is paid, she will be giving SW all her attention  until every listing is caught up! 

 

Boy, Easter was great. Hope you and yours had a good holiday. Everyone came to see me, and pet me, and treat me. I was my usual charming self, though I got nothing from the Easter Bunny, chocolate being very bad for people of the feline persuasion. 

 

Speaking of bunnies, at least three families have nests in our little copse behind the house. Surprising they didn't drown with all the  rain we had, but there are baby bunnies all over our back yard. I sniffed at their noses (very wiggly) but behaved myself like the gentlemen cat that I am. 

 

My sister, Spunky, chased them all over the yard, but couldn't catch any. Don't know what she thought she'd do with one, if she caught it. She should know Arline won't allow us to keep them in the house and we are definitely HOUSE cats. Besides we might have to share the food....

Didn't hear news from any of you this week.  Don't forget to share your gossip with Arline and me as we give free publicity, right here, every Friday, every week!
