When the cat's away

the long version

"White Sands is hosting an international cat show, and Jake Novak is disgusted at the idea of people fawning over cats. But his downstairs housemate, Mary Katherine Forrest, is delighted. Then one of the leading contenders for 'Best of Show' disappears, followed by other favored feline contenders, and Jake is hired to find the catnappers. A certified non-lover of cats, Jake isn't too concerned until Mary Katherine's Ragdoll cat, Cleo disappears. As the plot thickens, Jacques the Ripper, the crime-busting tomcat, joins the chase."
