Hi everyone! We are joining Comedy Plus’ Awww….Mondays and Book Date’s It’s Monday What are YOU Reading?
I have a review today of a wonderful book by Rosa Silva, The Black Cat Who Only Wanted to be Loved: A Sad Cat Story with a Happy Ending.
*Disclosure: I received a copy of The Black Cat Who Only Wanted to be Loved: A Sad Cat Story with a Happy Ending in exchange for a fair review.
I am glad the title told me it would have a happy ending of I would have stopped reading it because I can’t handle any mistreatment of animals. This is the story of a black cat named Pepper who loses his home because the awful husband of his owner blames him for all his bad luck. He meets neighborhood cats that befriend him and try to help him change colors. Obviously, that is not possible, but eventually he is accepted for who he is.
The review is short as I don’t want to give away any plot secrets. The book is geared for tweens, but all ages of cat lovers will enjoy it. I love black cats and currently have two, with 4 more at The Rainbow Bridge waiting for me so Pepper stole my heart from the start. The book is available on Kindle Unlimited for free and only 99 cents otherwise or you can get it in print for only $9.99 on Amazon- click here.
Today we are up to the letter J in The A-Z challenge. Journaling makes me happy. I usually write in mine once a week unless I am really stressed about something, I find it helps me sort things out. I have written in once since I was in high school and still have most of them. It is fun to look back once in a while, although I try to focus on the now. Do you keep a journal?
And one more thing…please pray for Stunning Keisha’s mom. To visit, The A-Z challenge
That sounds like a sweet book.
It is. 🙂
That sounds like a very nice book, and I am glad it has a happy ending.
It is. 🙂 XO
Happy Endings are the best:)
I did a lot of journaling when our sons were babies, till about age 6 or so…with a few additions after that. I have them all…they’ll be fun to give to them later!
i don’t do that myself anymore, though.
We are keeping TW close in out thoughts, too.
Yes, they are. I am sure your sons will love your journals. XO
That sounds like a good book.
I am happy there was a happy ending.
Too often we black cats get a bad rap.
We are just like other cats.We just have black furs 🙂
Purrs, Julie
Yes, they do. I know you are beautiful. XO
Poor guy – but it has a happy ending so I’m ALSO happy!!
Hugs, Pam
Yes, it does. 🙂 XO
I do keep a journal and in the past wrote in it every day. Now I journal when the urge hits. I always know that any animal related books you suggest won’t be hard to read because of mistreatment of animals. I like knowing there is a happy ending.
Yes, I can’t handle sad so I would never recommend them to anyone. I know most of my readers feel the same. XO
If it’s not sad the way the title implies, I will likely read it.
I think you will like it. 🙂 XO
I love black cats too and the book sounds interesting, and one I will probably add to my Kindle. I don’t keep a journal and never have probably because I wouldn’t keep up with it. 🙄Sending blessings and hugs for Stunning Keisha’s mom.
I think you will like it. XO
xo
That one sounds good, we don’t do critter sad either.
It is. 🙂
Sounds good. I only like happy endings too.
It is. 🙂
Sounds like a good read now that I know there’s a happy ending. Black cats rock. My last kitty was black and she was the best kitty ever.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week, Ellen. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to all the kitties. ♥
I agree, black cats rock. XO
I wish our home could accommodate every kitty needing one. Every day I read about an orphaned kitten, a cat whose owner passed away, or someone who just cannot keep an animal for some reason. And these are just local stories. 🙁 Be well, and thank you for sharing the book review.
That is why I avoid FB because there are always sad stories. XO
Sounds like a good read, I love my black cats and wish all were loved and cared for. Thanks for the review.
It is. Same here with black cats. XO
Yes I agree about the title. T
Hugs Cecilia
Thank you. XO
Book sounds like a great read. Glad it had a happy ending for the black Cat.
Thanks for your review
You’re welcome. 🙂 XO
the book sounds delightful and I love that it is geared to tweens to that they can learn that black cats are wonderful!
Good point. ALl ages need to know how wonderful they are. XO
Mom won’t read anything sad either. It sounds like a great book.

It is. 🙂
Thanks for the review. I’m going to check this book out. I’m glad you said there is a happy ending because I can’t read about any kind of mistreatment of animals either.
You’re welcome. 🙂 XO
That sounds like a great book and it’s going on my reading list! I’ve always loved black cats along with all cats. Some of our Bridge Angels are black kitties and there are several with us now. XO
It is. And I am like you , I have 2 now and many angels. XO
You made it easy for us to grab a copy! Thanks so much we look forward to reading it
You’re welcome. 🙂 XO
ONe of the grands loves books about animals, but like you, she doesn’t like to read sad ones:) This sounds like one she would really enjoy.
Woos – Ligtning, Misty, and Timber
Yes, she would. 🙂
This sounds like a terrific book! I’m glad you let us know it was not a sad book! And, its funny, but I have stopped journaling now that I have retired in November. I started to journal years ago when I started doing the Artist’s Way pages and I have journalled almost everyday for the last 20 years! We hope you all have a marvellously happy day!
I love The Artist’s Way and have a copy of it. You should start again. XO
That sounds like a sweet book. 🙂
It is. 🙂
That sounds like a good book. If it didn’t have a happy ending, we’d pass on even trying to read it. Too much sad out there these days. We think black cats are extremely beautiful and don’t know why people say some of those dumb things about so-called bad luck.
It is. I pass on sad stories too. XO
This book sounds wonderful. We love Rosa and her blog.
It is. 🙂
We have a soft spot for the black cats, too.
There were times where i kept a sort of journal, now i just write online!
That still counts. 🙂
We like black cats and they bring good luck! We have a neighbor that is PawPaw’s friend and can you believe he actually said Zoe was bad luck and oh my gosh a black cat crossed his path? Meowmy is not a violent woman but there were daggers comin’ outta her eyeballs towards this imbecile! Journaling is good, Meowmy found an old journal from her childhood and it was all about boys. She should start a more mature journal. 😊😂
I would be mad too if someone said any cat was bad luck. XO
We would like Dad to read us that book while we sit on his lap!
That is a great idea. XO
I have a black cat waiting on the Rainbow Bridge, too.
XO
Charlee: “A happy ending for the black cat?”
Chaplin: “That’s the kind of spoiler we like to see!”
It sure is. 🙂 XO
Happy ending are good, and we love housepanthers too!
You will enjoy this one. 🙂 XO
We love black cats so send him here!
Thanks for axing for purrz and prayerz for TW. She needs them.
Black cats are wonderful, bot all cats are. I am praying for TW. XO
Thank you Ellen for such a great review! I’m glad you enjoy reading my book 🙂
You’re welcome. I loved it. XO
This sounds like such a sweet story, and I’m glad it sounds like it has a happy ending. And I really enjoy journaling. Thoughts can get really jumbled up in the mind, so it’s nice to have a journal to throw it all into. Purrs!
Yes , it is a sweet story. XO
I’m not a superstitious person. People shouldn’t be cruel to each other or to animals that are black. That’s just dumb! Journaling is something I always wanted to do but never could get into but maybe I will eventually get the knack to keep one.

I agree, there is no need to be mean to any living thing. XO
