For Cat Lovers

Nineteenth century poet Christopher Smart has been committed to St. Luke's Hospital for Lunatics believing God has commissioned him to write The Divine Poem. But years earlier, he made a bargain with Satan and the devil has come to collect his due--a poem that will bring about the apocalypse.

Saving Smart's soul, and the rest of the world, falls to Jeoffry, the poet's demon-fighting cat and a creature of cunning Satan would be a fool to underestimate...

FOR HE CAN CREEP by Siobhan Carroll is told from the POV of the cat, Jeoffry, which is absolutely delightful. More so, when the Devil shows up appearing cat-like and promising catnip and fish heads. Jeoffry maintains his attitude, even with Satan, which is very amusing. Unfortunately, the Devil cannot be killed by a cat...so Jeoffry does the unthinkable: he asks for help.

I highly recommend this tale of suspense to anyone who ever loved a cat, especially those who are blessed enough to be guarded by a feline. (On a more personal note, this story made me cry over the three cats who stole pieces of my soul: D, O, A...RIP my little warriors. I hope you're giving Satan hell.)

As always,
