Sara Cat and I thought it might be fun to try to find references or stories about red cats in books. It's summer. It's hot. Maybe you should read a good mystery while you are resting by the pool or gently swinging in a hammock. This passage, about a beautiful red cat named Millie, is to be found on page 11:
Then I saw the cat. An enormous red tabby, napping like a ragdoll on the ledge of one of the stainless-steel shelves, high up.
The only parts of the tabby moving were the tail and one twitching paw. What a wonderful place to snooze, I thought. And what a beautiful kitchen cat!
