Amusing
I read this selection of stories in 3 days on the bus home from school. The ride seemed very short and I was reluctant to get off at my stop. So there had to be something good in these cat mystery shorts. My favourites included "The Beast Within" for it's excellent ending and "The Black Cat" for it's increasing paranoia. Some stories were just plain bad like the one from Lilian Braun. Read it and you'll see what I mean. I guessed the ending way before it came and it was a bit of a let down. This is for anyone who likes cat and mystery stories.

Mystery Cats
Mystery Cats is many short story/mysteries.I found these series of stories very interesting. Some of the stories are really good while others are just ok.

Many of the stories include ghosts, murder, theft and other things that make their stories good. I really liked The Thief of the Mafia Cat. It's a story about a thief who uses his mind to figure out a very clever way to steal a heavily guarded cat.

The other one I liked was Miss Paisley's Cat. It is a story about a old lady who revenges her cat's murder. The Lady Who Wore Black is another one of my favorties. It is a story about a cat who seeks to revenge her owner's death.
Another one I really liked was The Old Grey Cat. This one is about a very strange girl and her stranger friend. I would suggest this book to ages 12 and up. I found myself confused at times. Also some of the stories in this book are a bit troubling. If you read this book and liked it there is another book called More Mystery Cats. I really enjoyed this book and would suggest it to any one who likes mysteries novels or cats.
Out of 5 I give this book a 4.

This book made me feel horrible!
I have to say that this book really disturbed me. I had to stop reading it because there was alot of "VERY BAD THINGS" involved in most of the stories that I read. I do realize this is a mystery book, but like I said, it made me feel horrible. I really wouldn't reccomend it to anyone who has a "sensitive" side.
