Gee It's Gigi

Excerpts:
“We keep reminding her that she needs to be GOOD to be an ANGEL”
“Gigi LOVES to visit with NEIGHBORS. She is very neighborly. She runs through the hall UP, UP, UP the hall and DOWN, DOWN, DOWN the hall.”
“Her full name is GIGI MARIE ROSE. And she loves being a CAT”
Excerpts:
“Is that the ITTY, BITTY, MITTY, WITTY, PREETY, GRITTY KITTY?”

“But as I have said before, MANDEE is MANDEE!”
“FLUFFY is always FLUFFY”
Fluffy's Tails
FLUFFY is a toughie, Mandee is handee, Toulouse is on the loose and Merlot is on the go! These are just some of the things Mary Lou’s cats get into and up to in her book for new and beginning readers. I decided to write this book many, many years ago. I thought about it for a long time. Finally, after being retired for a while, I decided to “make it so”.
It contains stories about four of my cats. Three have passed away and Merlot Henry Lawrence is still with Mary Lou. He will turn 16 in October. Fluffy was a Maine Coon and lived 21 years. Mandee was a beautiful calico cat. She had diabetes and lived to 13. Toulouse Thomas Lawrence Roy had kidney problems and died last year. Toulouse and Merlot are brothers and are Ragdoll cats.
While I worked in the field of Medical Libraries and Computer Science, my heart has always been in working with very young children. This was my impetus in writing a children’s book. I hope you enjoy reading it to and with your children, grandchildren or even among cat lovers. I have always believed that READING is FUNdamental!
