Katz Tales: Living under the velvet paw is a compilation of stories Ellen has written about her cat companions, Scoop, Bones, Au and Target. These stories had been published in a column in The Star newspaper's Weekender pullout from 2006 to 2009. Ellen wrote about her kitties in a light and heart-warming manner, even I, who is not a cat-lover found her stories amusing and interesting, which I could hardly the book put down.

This book has given me a fresh perspective and surprising revelations about cats I have never realised and/or known before. Ellen has done an excellent job in publishing this book to enlighten readers, especially animal lovers (cat-lovers and non-cat-lovers alike) like myself about cats in an interesting manner. There were also full-coloured pictures of Scoop, Au and Target, unfortunately no photo of Bones, whom took refuge at Ellen's home for a short time.

Readers who have been following Ellen's column in The Star's Weekender pullout would find Katz Tales a delightful book to be added to their collection. More reasons to do so if you are an animal lover, especially if you are a cat-lover. I would give double thumbs-up to Ellen for a job well done.
