All Things Cat : Elk Grove Publications : 9781940781204 : 18 Dec 2017 : "A story isn't a story if there isn't a cat in it." Elaine Faber All Things Cat is a selection of Elaine Faber's short stories about cats. Their stories take place in both past and present in diverse surroundings: Salem, Massachusetts, a pirate ship off the coast of Maine, a haunted hotel in the Sierra Mountains, Roswell, New Mexico, and the oval office in Washington, D.C., to name but a few locations. The felines interact with extraordinary and remarkable characters including witches, leprechauns, a sewer truck driver, a hen-pecked husband driven to plot murder, and animal characters present at the birth of the Christ Child. Some stories are self-narrated by a cat sharing most unusual circumstances-abandoned by his master, as the prize in an Old West poker game, routing a burglar in a WWII meat market, overcoming self-doubts about his hunting/stalking abilities, and adopting the First Family in the White House.
