Cat Steals Show at Signing

Allia Zobel Nolan, author of over 140 books was signing her latest, PURR MORE, HISS LESS:HEAVENLY LESSONS I LEARNED FROM MY CAT at Borders, in Wilton, Connecticut this past Saturday, with the help of some tiny, eight-week-old purrballs from Pet Animal Welfare Society Shelter in Norwalk.

The author, best known for her classic, 101 REASONS WHY A CAT IS BETTER THAN A MAN, couldn’t bring her own puddies, as they “don’t travel well,” So she approached the shelter where she volunteers for a loan of 3 kitties. Turned out a win-win situation… though the author admits… “The kittens got way more attention than I did.”

The good news is that all three kittens found homes. According to Nolan

they weren’t allowed to adopt “on the spot,” as the shelter must do a background check (they are very strict with their puddies).
But one couple came in,….didn’t buy a book….but went right down to the shelter to put their names in for one (or more???) of the kittens.
