Purrfect Double (Max 46)
Friend or Fowl
I'm not an investor, since cats don't hold stock or manage their own portfolios, but my understanding of a CEO is that they lead the company to ever higher pinnacles of success, which then reflects on the stock price. So when Cotton Karat, CEO of the luxury goods Karat Group started canoodling with his supermodel girlfriend on stage during the group's annual shareholders' meeting, it's safe to say his frivolous behavior didn't go down well with investors. Soon the man was found murdered in a rather gruesome way. Only it quickly transpired that not all was what it seemed.
And then of course there was my friend Dooley, looking for a way to ingratiate himself with Odelia before the baby arrived. As he saw it, I'm the brains of Odelia's cat contingent, Harriet the beauty, and Brutus the brawn. So what is his USP? As it turns out, not a very appealing one. On top of that, Gran had recently converted to vegetarianism, and decided that the rest of the family should follow in her footsteps. Suffice it to say things quickly turned unpalatable.
Purrfect Date (Max 47)
A Confederacy of Daters
When the well-known and popular dating site Valina Fawn was hacked, and a list of its members leaked online, a lot of people got into a lot of trouble. Men whose wives had no idea of their adulterous ways, wives whose men were surprised at their popularity with the other sex. And as luck would have it, the three men in our family were also on that fateful - or faithless - list, causing Odelia, Marge and Charlene to call an urgent family meeting.
So when Valina Fawn herself, after whom the site had been named, was found murdered, it's safe to say there was no lack of possible suspects. Was it a jilted wife? A cheating husband? A frustrated investor? Fortunately they could always call 911, where they would be greeted by the sultry tones of Gran or Scarlett, who'd both been engaged as the new dispatchers. Though their peculiar ideas on how to fill the role soon caused tongues to wag.
And then there was Harriet, who, after accidentally swiping right on Pettr, the popular dating site for pets, was being pursued by a sparrow, of all species. Brutus wasn't happy about it, feeling the sting even more when the sparrow turned out to be no mean serenader.
Purrfect Hit (Max 48)
Time to Face the Music
As you probably know, cats are no mean singers. In fact we can probably compete with your most popular songbirds out there when it comes to belting out a tune. So when Odelia was tasked to write an article about Tab Fitch, the well-known pop star, it was no hardship to drive down to Fitchville, as the compound he built on the outskirts of Hampton Cove is called, and have a chat with the man. As it turns out, Tab might be popular with his fans, but he hadn't made himself popular with his neighbors, as evidenced by their relentless campaign against him. And that was even before a gruesome murder struck right at the heart of Fitchville...
