By Susi Schaefer Princess keeps very busy taking care of her ladies: Molly, Millie, Maridl, and Merthel. She has them properly trained. She makes sure they stay groomed and glam. And she takes them on errands so they don’t buy the wrong treats. But one day a mysterious stray appears: There is a little girl in Princess’s favorite napping spot!

When the stray comes to her rescue, Princess realizes maybe she could make room for a fifth lady...after proper training, of course. Reviews for CAT LADIES:
