When cantankerous Mother Nature is wronged, she can provide a rage that is more than a bad temper tantrum. She can garner fire and all sorts of denizens to vent her wrath. Usually, there is collateral damage and the innocent can become caught up in her furry.Is there an invisible hand, or in our case an invisible paw, provided by Providence to aid us earth bound creatures? Perhaps, it and Franky’s Neighborhood Watch are an accident of nature, who help a mother in need. Can Nurse Bear and Ms. Scarlet Bear help this mother in her forlorn hopes? What can Pet Mom, Pet Grandpa and his drinking buddy Pet Smage do for this mother.What about this mother’s kittens. How do they survive and grow to become house cats and not feral cats?Like a wild western cattle stampede, the Neighborhood Watch will try to turn the herd of vengeful events.

Ever heard that an author should never write a book about the family pets- bullfarky! Cats are some of the most curious, wily, friendly, trusting and adventuresome creatures god put on this earth. Whoever said an author should never write a book about cats probably cries while watching his soapies. I have another question for you. How does a cat’s personality develop? I explore this question in a coming of age book for a kitten. During his first night in his new home, Frankie surprised everyone by escaping from his room and crawling bed with his new Pet Mom and his Labrador sisters. From that night on this kitten has had fun growing up with his Per Grandpa, two Labrador sisters and his bigger feline brother.He had the usual experiences that a young kitten has to go through including belly rubs, cat candy, catnip, collars, ear mites, misuse of his front claws, excessive climbing, game innovation, stalking as hunter, ideas, avoiding kitten killers, playing with red dancing lights in the garage, playing with toys, his Nurse Bear and neutering.This story is seen through his eyes. He has his feline fantasies and an overactive imagination that will explain Frankie’ mischievous and sometimes silly behavior. All the readers have to do is suspend some of their adult beliefs and let their imaginations wander. There is floor plan of Pet Mom’s house and yard to help the reader keep track of Franky’s activities.If you are a reader, who loves cats then this story will tease your curiosity and hold interest. The work is a touch over 70,375 in length having 5,318 sentences, a Flesch Reading Ease of 86.26 and a Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level of 4.52.

Ninety-six per cent of the universe is missing. The effects of homeopathy don’t go away under rigorous scientific conditions. The laws of nature aren’t what they used to be. Thirty years on, no one has an explanation for a seemingly intelligent signal received from outer space. The US Department of Energy is re-examining cold fusion because the experimental evidence seems too solid to ignore. The placebo effect is put to work in medicine while doctors can’t agree whether it even exists.In an age when science is supposed to be king, scientists are beset by experimental results they simply can’t explain. But, if the past is anything to go by, these anomalies contain the seeds of future revolutions. While taking readers on an entertaining tour d’horizon of the strangest of scientific findings – involving everything from our lack of free will to Martian methane that offers new evidence of life on the planet – Michael Brooks argues that the things we don’t understand are the key to what we are about to discover.This mind-boggling but entirely accessible survey of the outer limits of human knowledge is based on a short article by Michael Brooks for New Scientist magazine. It became the sixth most circulated story on the internet in 2005, and provoked widespread comment and compliments (Google “13 things that do not make sense” to see).Michael Brooks has now dug deeply into those mysteries, with extraordinary results.
