Hello gorgeous library guests
and
Welcome to the Mewton-Clawson Library at BBHQ
Thank mew furry much for joining me in the stacks today, and what is this epic news I hear mew ask?
Well, we just heard a few days ago that we are still the Number Two Pet Blog in the U.K. on Vuelio's epic list.
So mew can imagine how delighted we are at that news, well if I'm honest it's all because of my excellent book reviews, aka the more intellectual side of the blog, I'm sure that's what keeps us up near the top! MOL
Katzenworld is still in the No 1 position, and we congratulate them most effervescently, and send oodles of congrats to all the other pawesome pet blogs listed too, they are all ameowzing.
1. I wouldn't mind if _________.
2. I want to _________ my _________.
3. Others come to me when they need _________.
4. _________ is a memory that I regularly think about.
The P.A.'s answers are...
1. I wouldn't mind if I won the lottery jackpot! LOL Then I could go and buy a nice farm and rescue oodles and oodles of anipals.
2. I want to paint/redecorate my Amber's library, and the craft room but it would be a humongous job moving everything, there are so many books and if they came off the shelves I don't think I'd remember where they'd all go again, Amber would really be angry at that, and I just don't have the energy right now.
3. Others come to me when they need something fixing, designing or making. Whether that's problem-solving or literally a physical item. Apparently, I'm good at that stuff.
4. Basil being at BBHQ is a memory that I regularly think about. In fact, I think about Basil every day as I still miss him so much, sometimes it's really hard to look at his photo's or videos... sad but true.
Let's see what I've got to show mew this time!
This week's top book pick is...
Mewton-Clawson Library Copy
It's a Cat's Life
by
Mary Trewby
Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:
It's a Cat's Life offers the perfect blend of practical information that every cat owner should know, while allowing them to record all the individual aspects of their own pet. From behaviour, feeding habits and veterinary details, to recording special moments and even your cat's photograph and paw prints! The year-by-year log pages allow the owner to record details of their cat from day one.
This week I purromised Melvyn that he could do a review, well he's got to learn, so here's my young intern... take it away Melvyn!
Hello epic readers, Melvyn here, **waves paw** Amber said I could do this weeks review and she gave me a title called, It's a Cat's Life to appraise.
I thought I was going to get a really exciting book from the guns and ammo, or the military vehicle section of the library, so mew can imagine my complete surprise when Amber gave me this.
Anyhoo surprise aside, I have to say this wasn't what I was expecting at all, at furst I thought it was going to be a memoir by some famouse cat, but it turns out it's actually a diary or journal for your hooman staff to keep, and it's much more too. As I investigated further it turns out it's full of hints and tips for newbie cat parents, so ties in purrfectly with yesterdays
guest post.
It also offers chronological - wow that's a big wurd for me - space to record events and special occasions, plus there's space to keep a log of health information and vet treatments. There are pages for 20 years, and although there's not space to stick a photo to each page mew could easily staple or paperclip a picture to the relevant page.
Also, included are a few pages of condensed useful info regarding kittens, behaviour, cat shows, cat hotels, a travel log if mew go places, diet, grooming, training plus lots more!
If your hooman is looking for a simple diary to log memorable life events and health info, this could be purrfect. What a really neat idea!

I really hope mew enjoy the book as much as Melvyn did if mew decide to read it.
It's time fur me to say BFN or bye-fur-now as mew know the drill, so many books, so little time and I'll be back next week with another specially paw-picked book just for mew, and don't furget that all my previous reviews can be found on my Book Review page.
**NEWS FLASH**

Until next time...
Keep calm and read more books
