Why talking cats and wolves? What was the driving force behind Lucky the Cat and others?

Question

Accepted Answer

Why not? Just kidding! Both of us have grown up with pets in our lives, mostly dogs and cats.

Those who have pets, know what we mean! When one lives with a pet for many months or years, they develop a silent communication with us using a flick of the tail, ears perked this way or that, or sometimes with vocalizations. They all want to be part of our routine and adapt to them. When a person breaks routine or otherwise does not do, say, or provide the expected outcome, it can be slightly or very upsetting to the animal!

Lucky was our then-young godson's cat. We got to watch them both grow up together; both were  pretty headstrong and independent. So to our minds, having them banter the way they did in the story seemed like a long-overdue conversation for them to have!

As for Bootsy, Akira, Alexis and Logan, Pax, Varg, and Quasita, those were cats and dogs that were personally part of our lives. Because we have so very much to share about them, I think those stories are best saved for our blog and newsletter.

What wonderful friends they were!
