B is For Basil and Bailey

74 comments

Hi everyone! Today is brought to you by the letter B ( I admit, I have been watching Sesame Street). I have 2 books to tell you about today and Spooky is here to help.

DSCF0947 Both of these kitties have books and blogs.I wrote about Basil back in November when I was lucky enough to win his book. Here is the link to my review and buying information: https://15andmeowing.com/2015/11/basil-the-bionic-cat/

I also want to tell you about Bailey Boat Cat. I am on the board at The Museum of Maritime Pets and Bailey is our Ambassador at Sea. His book is perfect for children and adults, it is filled with wonderful photos of Bailey on his boat, Nocturne. I had no idea how many cats lived on boats until Bailey started conducting weekly interviews with several of these kitties. Bailey’s book can be purchased through the museum gift shop.

We are also joining Athena’s Caturday Art Blog Hop

this week. Keeping with our B theme we have Phoebe being petted by a baby. My great-niece is super cute, but I cropped her out because I think only parents should post photos of their kids. I did leave her adorable hand though. PhoebebandbabyCaturday Art

  5. Great books, fun too!

    Sweet Phoebe, you reminded meowmy of when her own boys were wee babies, too…then she would take their tiny hands and help them to pet the two kitties we had at that time, Angel Groucho and Angel Simba. She would say/chant…nice kitty, soft kitty…..my goodness those boys are in their twenties, now, MOL!!

    1. It is good to get kids used to being gentle around pets at an early age. Her kitties won’t come near her yet though.

  6. Just shared your blog and Bailey Boat Cat with a friend who has a beautiful kitty. I think her little girls will love reading about cats on boats:) Thank you.
    Here from the a to z challenge.

    1. I think Basil’s book is on sale as an e-book on Amazon, it is a fun book. Penny, Joanie and Millie all send their love to Toby, BobbieSue and Simon.

  9. I won Basil’s book too and enjoyed it. I haven’t read Bailey’s though. That is a sweet picture of Phoebe and the baby.

    1. I am glad you won Basil’s book too. Phoebe says thank you 🙂 XO

  10. Thank you for introducing me to these two B books! Being new to the blogging world, I still have much to learn and am looking forward to C through Z.

  11. We agree with you – children’s photos should only be posted with permission of their parents (and themselves when they are old enough). We weren’t familiar with those books – thanks for sharing!

  13. I have Bailey’s book and really enjoyed it. It still “blows” M’s mind that he’s happy living on a boat. She would be so afraid I’d jump overboard at sea and in port! he he, but then she’s a worry wart!

    1. I would be the same as your Mom and worry all the time. I would have my cat on a leash most of the time.

  14. I love reading about the books you read. I’m already really enjoying your A to Z challenge posts!

    And I just love that picture of you, Phoebe. So sweet! I bet you would make a great baby-sitter.

    1. I am glad you are enjoying the a-z posts. Phoebe thanks you too, but says she will pass on the baby sitting.

    1. She wasn’t grabby, but her little hand was wet from having it in her mouth.

    1. Thank you- Phoebe, Joanie and Spooky were the only ones brave enough to see the baby.

  18. Purrincess Phoebe you look deevine lettin thee Baby pat you!

  25. Looks like you’ve been reading a lot of books lately. Jan read the Christmas and the Curmudgeon books so many years ago she can’t even remember what they were about. Wonder if she still has them?

    1. I always read a lot 🙂 If Jan still has them, they are worth another read.

    1. There are quite a few that live on boats and seem happy- I wouldn’t have thought that either. Thank you for visiting.
