A missing cat, a pop sensation, and a murder make for a page turning mystery. The thing about this story is how the main character always finds herself in the middle of the mystery, without even really trying too. A strong plot, interesting characters are the perfect recipe for this well executed story.

Cassie volunteers to demonstrate cat grooming at a big cat expo in northern New Jersey. Pop star Jaki Natal attends with her Scottish Fold cat Gordie. When Gordie is catnapped, Jaki believes Cassie can help.
As a psychology major, Cassie knows something about profiling. She stays one step ahead of the police, but that’s a dangerous place to be.
An amusing story that also takes a look at people obsessed with celebrities who will do anything to fulfil their fantasies.

I am a cat person so that is the main reason I was drawn to this book. It has lots of cats! It takes place during a cat show/exposition. Cassie has been invited to bring her cat grooming van to the show to give demos. It is a great opportunity for her to get exposure. While she is there she gets caught up in some hijinks involving the disappearance of a singer's cat and the possible murder/accident of a security guard. Cassie's mom and her new boyfriend are also present since he is showing his Sphynx cat at the show. The book keeps moving with things happening constantly that keep your attention. Cassie of course finds the kidnapped cat and figures out the culprit before anyone else. It is entertaining the read about the activities at the cat exposition.

Loved this cosy read! Not what I thought it would be at all! I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would too!

Am a cat lover so enjoyed the cat theme of the story. Likeable characters in a story with a twist.

Would recommend to all cat lovers and even if your not, its a lovely easy story.

Thank you Kensington Books and NetGalley.

I had a hard time getting into this book. I don't know it it's the book or me but it seemed to take a long time to get to the mystery part of the story line and there was a lot of just talking going on that didn't really seem to move the plot along. I did enjoy it once I got into the book. I liked that it was at a cat expo and really liked the demos that they did for the grooming and the shelter. I think that there could have been more about the murder then all the talk that was done with the cat's owner Jaki. The ending was good, it was definitely a surprise who the bad guy was. #GoneKittyGone #NetGalley

Gone, Kitty, Gone by Eileen Watkins 5 stars

A new Cat Groomer mystery following last years Feral Attraction. This time Cassie McGlone is going to work the local cat show demonstrating the tricks of the trade. She will be joined by her friends from the animal rescue group and her boyfriend Mark the vet, who will also be talking at the show. In order to market the show, the organizers persuaded a young multi-talented performer to do a live Q&A and perform at the cat show. Jaki is a young superstar that also has a unique cat, a Scottish Fold named Gordie.

During the Q&A session, the lights go off and the Gordie is catnapped. What follows is an engaging mystery that had me guessing until near the end. I really enjoyed the interaction between Cassie and Mark and look forward to advancing their relationship in future books.

Thank you Netgalley and Kensington Books for this ARC.

The celebrity guest is a singer named Jaki who is a big cat lover. When her Scottish Fold cat Gordie is stolen, Cassie helps the police search for him. If you're a fan of cozy mysteries with cats and likable characters, give this one a try. Thanks to the publisher, and to Netgalley, for this ARC.
