I forgot to mention this
Many of the cats I mention in this blog are cats that really exist in the real world. Tammy, Musi, Chibi, Guinevere, Scarlett, Dulcinea, and Rapunzel - as well as my pesky black cat brother Michael (you humans rightly believe black cats are bad luck!), among others that I have mentioned in this blog - are real felines. Many of the problems they have are real. However, my human wants me to remind you that this blog is in the fiction section for one good reason: the idea that felines can speak or type is pure fiction. (But yes, there is a mailing list on Yahoogroups called Cyberkat!)

My human remembers Tribe of Tiger
I do not know whether she has read that book, however. She may have gotten the inspiration for the title of this blog from The Secret Life of Dogs. I can say that the title is meant to indicate what some humans - most notably the people on Cyberkat (the Yahoogroup), but also others, like the author of Tribe of Tiger - believe we do and think and feel when our humans do not see us.

Do you know the books of Elizabeth Marshall Thomas?
She wrote one of the first animal anthropomorphic books "The Secret Life of Dogs" which shot to the top of the NYTimes best seller list a few years ago. A year or so later she wrote "Tribe of Tiger" about cats. She's a colleague of mine.
