When street musician James Bowen found an injured cat curled up in the hallway of his apartment building, he had no idea how much his life was about to change. James was living hand to mouth on the streets of London, barely making enough money to feed himself - the last thing he needed was a pet. Yet, James couldn't resist helping the strikingly intelligent, but very sick animal, whom he named Bob. He slowly nursed Bob back to health and then sent the cat on his way, never imagining that he would see him again. But Bob had other ideas.

Laurie Zaleski never aspired to run an animal rescue; that was her mother Annie’s dream. But from girlhood, Laurie was determined to make the dream come true. Thirty years later as a successful businesswoman, she did it, buying a 15-acre farm deep in the Pinelands of South Jersey. She was planning to relocate Annie and her caravan of ragtag rescues - horses and goats, dogs and cats, chickens and pigs - when Annie died, just two weeks before moving day. In her heartbreak, Laurie resolved to make her mother’s dream her own.

I was just your normal twentysomething with seven associate degrees and no idea what I wanted to do with my life. That is, until I died...Well, almost. As if a near-death experience at the hands of an old coffeemaker wasn't embarrassing enough, I woke up to find I could talk to animals. Or rather one animal in particular. I've taken to calling him Octo-Cat. He talks so fast he can be difficult to understand, but seems to be telling me that his late owner didn't die of natural causes like everyone believes.

But Annie wanted to see the Pacific Ocean before she died. She ignored her doctor’s advice to move into the county charity home.

Publisher's Summary
Narrated by the author, this is an eloquently written memoir of the author and his wife's crazy life experiences, splashed and peppered with the outrageous antics of this wildly witted Bengal Kitten that not only turned their Empty Nest upside-down - but brought into focus a continuity of Kindred Spirits that gave meaning to their lives.
A heartfelt and hilarious read that will leave you loving The Culprit from start to finish!

Not a cat story
This cover implies that the book is mainly about a cat. It is actually about a cat dad. The story strings together short stories that jump around and doesn’t necessarily flow. Half way through he stops talking about the cat. Although entertaining, the silly sound effects are distracting and the ending is the worst. As a Media Specialist and cat lover I hate to say it but would not recommend.😒

WTF?
Nice enough story but really just bait for a second book. I couldn’t believe Audible allowed this. Half-assed attempt at writing, incomplete story not even with an try at a finish. I feel cheated. Blatant rip-off.
In addition to a jumpy story line that left me wondering if the recording was messed up.
I’m asking for a refund.

This book is all over the place.
I bought the book thinking it was all about this cat - the culprit - and his/her adventures. Some of it was enjoyable, but for the most part the chapters bounced all over the place and some (the horse stories) I couldn’t figure out why they were included in the first place. Had nothing to do with anything....
Also, the wordiness of the writers sentences got on my nerves about 2 chapters in. If one word adequately describes something, don’t add three more!! Ugh.
Thats what I get for buying a book I judged my it’s cover. (The cover is cute) Oh well, live and learn.

A Series of High School Essays
I would never normally take the time to criticize any writer's work because it's a great feat to write and publish a book! However, because I believe this book disrespects its readers with that cheap ploy ending, I would like to warn other potential readers not to expect a well-crafted, rewarding read. I really wanted to love the story of a man and his cat, but this book is so poorly written, it makes me wonder if it had an editor.

On a lake in northernmost Minnesota, you might find Naledi Lodge - only two cabins still standing, its pathways now trodden mostly by memories. And there you might meet Meg, or the ghost of the girl she was, growing up under her grandfather’s care in a world apart and a lifetime ago. Now an artist, Meg paints images "reflected across the mirrors of memory and water", much as the linked stories of Vacationland cast shimmering spells across distance and time.

On a lake in northernmost Minnesota, you might find Naledi Lodge - only two cabins still standing, its pathways now trodden mostly by memories. And there you might meet Meg, or the ghost of the girl she was, growing up under her grandfather’s care in a world apart and a lifetime ago. Now an artist, Meg paints images "reflected across the mirrors of memory and water", much as the linked stories of Vacationland cast shimmering spells across distance and time.

Last seen sleeping off his wedding night in the back of a 1951 International Harvester pickup, Michael Perry is now living in a rickety Wisconsin farmhouse. Faced with 37 acres of fallen fences and overgrown fields, and informed by his pregnant wife that she intends to deliver their baby at home, Perry plumbs his unorthodox childhood - his city-bred parents took in more than 100 foster children while running a ramshackle dairy farm - for clues to how to proceed as a farmer, a husband, and a father.

When a client tells Sam Applewhite she’s seen ghosts in the nearby graveyard, Sam dismisses it as the ramblings of an old woman. She’s got bigger things to worry about. Keeping on top of her job at DefCon4 Security Services isn’t easy - particularly since her manager is a cactus, and no one will tell her what her job actually is. But when the ghost-spotting client goes missing, and only Sam suspects foul play, she is compelled to dig deeper.

Trent Preszler thought he was living the life he always wanted, with a job at a winery and a seaside Long Island home, when he was called back to the life he left behind. After years of estrangement, his cancer-stricken father had invited him to South Dakota for Thanksgiving. It would be the last time he saw his father alive. Preszler’s only inheritance was a beat-up wooden toolbox that had belonged to his father, who was a cattle rancher, rodeo champion, and Vietnam War Bronze Star Medal recipient. This family heirloom befuddled Preszler.

Margaret Atwood is acknowledged as one of the foremost writers of our time. In Moral Disorder, she has created a series of interconnected stories that trace the course of a life and also the lives intertwined with it, those of parents, of siblings, of children, of friends, of enemies, of teachers, and even of animals. As in a photograph album, time is measured in sharp, clearly observed moments.
