I started reading this morning and it seems to be a good "cozy" mystery involving, as the title indicates, cats and quilts. The main character talks about the three cats she owns with a police officer and says, "Yup. That's my clowder for you," then goes on to explain "That's what you call a group of adult cats. On the other hand, a group of kittens is called a kindle."

I thought about pulling up the Words I Learned Because of My Kindle thread or adding it to the Pet Lovers thread, but decided the mention and definition of kindle I had never heard before deserved its own thread with a link for cozy lovers to check it out themselves! How fun is that - we are all cat owners now !

You are welcome!  I'm glad someone else found it interesting.  I guess I should have just posted in the What I Am Reading Now instead of starting a new thread.  The book itself was a good read and is the first in what will apparently be an new series for Sweeney.  You definitely have a clowder of cats at your house!

I prefer that you post a new thread, but I may be the only one. That what you're reading thread is just too long for me.

I never knew kittens lived in a kindle, nor that cats are in a clowder. Thanks for this....

I also had no clue about the clowder (adults) or kindle (kittens). Thanks!

The book was enjoyable too, I think this is a good start to a new series if you like cozies.
