The Cat Who Saw Red

This happens some time after the first books. Lilian wrote it over 20 years after the first books, and it shows.

The following might be a spoiler, but it doesn't say anything about the mystery in the book, so I don't count it as a spoiler. It's just sort of a trigger warning for sensitive cat lovers reading this book.

I'm sorry to say but Joy's cat didn't make it. I was hoping he would, but, no.
I'm glad to say that Coco and Yum yum do. And they just went on a walkabout, no-one kidnapped them for animal testing or tried to kill them or anything like that. I was horrified when I read that bit, and even though I was pretty certain the cats would survive, I was really scared something horrible would happen to them.
