Christmas is approaching and it's time to start reading some Christmas books. What about Santa Claws by Meg Mims, a cute story about a cat ruining his owner's Christmas? Want to read this book for free? Then all you have to do is enter the Rafflecopter below. Giveaway is open worldwide and ends December 16. Good luck and happy holidays!
Mary Kate Branson will do anything for her brother, who is deployed overseas right after Thanksgiving - including taking in his mischievous cat, Lucifer. She juggles battling job woes at a bakery with dating a hot volunteer firefighter and all the preparations for Christmas ... but Lucifer has his own plans for a holiday bash.
This is what author Meg Mims has to say about Santa Claws:
"When my daughter was 8, we had a small poodle. She wanted a cat, but I am allergic to them. One Saturday, when we were having cable installed (around 1997 or so), my husband and I were outside talking to the installer when a black cat emerged from the garage door which was slightly open. My poodle wagged his tail and licked her, as if they were long-time friends, and the cat wound herself around my husband's legs - as if telling him, "love me, love me!" My daughter begged us, so I put food out for her since she wouldn't come inside. I even rescued her from the Humane Society when a neighbor took her there, since Toby must have wandered too far - and told the neighbor she was my daughter's new cat. Took her to get spayed but she'd already had that procedure done - the vet believed her to be a little over a year old. No idea where she came from, so she was our "outdoor" cat - until we found her with a nasty bite mark on her head. After a $200+ vet bill, we brought her inside every night but even in winter, she preferred being outside during the day... until she was much older. By the time 2007 rolled around, she was an "indoor" cat with a few trips out to explore on occasion. Unfortunately, last year Toby developed thyroid disease. This year, she became very ill - we had to let her go in a very peaceful way after the vet administered the shot while she lay in my arms. Because we lost Toby, I decided to dedicate Santa Claws to her memory and included several funny incidents we experienced with her," Meg Mims says. "I also included tricks/incidents of many friends' cats that add to the "chaos" Lucifer brings to Mary Kate's life in the book. She learns that cats are very different than dogs!" She was a sweet, affectionate cat. My allergies have ceased, but my daughter (who is in her 20s now) has a cat - Lucy, a very finicky one. I am also including her photo when we caught her in a funny pose."
BIO -- Meg Mims I was born and raised in Michigan and love watching the four seasons. I live with my supportive husband and two dogs — a “make my day” Malti-poo and the Lhasa Apso rescue dog featured in Santa Paws. An Eastern greenhorn who writes western mysteries? Especially since horses do not love me, and the feeling is mutual — oh, I love to watch them or pet them or feed them carrots. But ride? I’ll take my car, thanks. I’ve written website articles about lighthouses and lighthouse keepers for Lake Effect Living as well. I have a short western story out in A Wolf Creek Christmas titled "A Savior Is Born" and my Christmas novellas SANTA CLAWS and SANTA PAWS have been on the Amazon Kindle Bestseller lists at various times. I’m also one-half of the D.E. Ireland team writing a cozy mystery series for St. Martin’s Press. The Deadly series will be debuting in 2014! WOULDN’T IT BE DEADLY features Eliza Doolittle and Professor Henry Higgins solving a murder mystery together. How fabulous is that? We think it is! So, to sum it all up, I write ‘blended genre fiction. Mystery with intrigue and a dash of romance, and vivid details in setting, characters, clothing, food whether in a historical or contemporary novel. I’m an avid reader myself, and enjoy books with such blends of various genres.

News from the clinic
5 days of cat clinic done, 3 more days to go!
So far, we have done the sterilization (spay/neuter) operation for 135 cats. That is just amazing. Before the clinic started, I was secretly hoping we manage to operate maybe 100 cats. We passed that number already yesterday! Now I am hoping for 150 cats and that we will propably pass tomorrow!
We have had a great team of vet students from BARC helping out, they have been running around like carzy catching cats and bringing them to the clinic and returning them after the cats are sober enough to go back where they came from. And we have had amazing vets, Rini and Carmen, doing the operations, they have been working so hard and so long days, as have the two vet students, Veronika and Tereza, that have been assisting the vets at the operation room all week. BARC also sent us more medical supplies yesterday, as we were running out a bit, and the supplies came with an extra vet for a couple of days!
Mostly things have been running quite smoothly. After the first two days we realized we need a system to keep track on the cats: where they came from and so on, as we had so many cats. We started a numbering system: each cat is signed in a booklet and gets a number when it "checks in" and the number (written in a piece of a cardboard) will follow the cat all day, until the cat is taken back home or where ever it came from. Made things a lot easier, I can tell you.
Couple of orphan kittens have found homes through our clinic (one ended up coming home with me, naturally....) and JC, the poor cat with nail holes in his paws, got a good loving home from Lutwala Dive. He is getting all the care he needs there now, is being kept inside and gets good food and he does not have to worry about evil, crazy humans anymore. I am so, so happy for him now.
We had another heartbreaking story today. A kitten was found from the street and it was just crawling on his front paws, as his back legs were broken, or he was paralyzed. Either way, he was not able to walk, but was just dragging himself around with his front legs. Watching him do that in a basket and seeing the miserable look in his eyes, I totally lost it and I just had to leave the vets to do their thing. I had to go away, as I was crying my eyes out for the poor kitten. Unfortunately there was nothing to do for the kitten, he had to be euthanized.
It is sad, sad, SAD to see hurt animals, but lucky for all the cats that have gone through our clinic this week, they have been helped out. It will be an easier life for all of them: males don't have to fight about females and the females don't have to spend their whole life being pregnant or taking care of their kittens.
We will be at Blue Marlin two more days (friday-saturday) and then we will have one extra day at Lutwala Dive on sunday, with a small team (just one vet and 2 vet students) to serve the north end of the island too.
I will come and tell how the last 3 days go later, meanwhile, please follow our Facebook-page for updates and check the photos on our November 2013 Clinic -photoalbum (even if you are not in facebook, you can see the photos there!) as I try to add some photos after each day is finished.

Clinic days at Trawangan
First two days of our cat clinic, done! It's been busy, it's been smelly, it's been funny and it's been sad. There's been vomit and poo and balls and ovaries, there's been cute kittens and mommycats and friendly nice cuddly cats and of course, angry male stray cats. We've had sick cats and healthy cats and everything in between.
We have even had walk-in patients: cats that came to the clinic by themselves! One meoowed behind the window of the operation room and jumped in when we opened the window and another one walked in to the recovery room by himself! Basket on, needle in and balls out, forevaah!
2 days and already 38 cats have been neuterd or spayed! Yesterday we were a bit delayed, as the team coming from Jakarta had a cancelled flight, but in the end we got all sorted out, everyone at the island and got going in the afternoon. Yesterday we did operation for 8 cats and a couple of more came for check-ups.
And today, as we were able to start already in the morning, I think we made a record: 30 cats got the operation! And on top of that, a dozen or so cats or kittens came for check-ups and for medication. We had a mommycat with 6 tiny kittens, and that is rare to see, you hardly ever meet a mommycat with more than 2 kittens. The litters sure are bigger when born, but a lot of kittens die before they even get the chance to open their eyes and look at the world where they were born to.

| Poor Jesus, with holes in his paws |
Clinics continue tomorrow, we start at 9am, Blue Marlin Dive Center. Horse clinics are also ongoing now, starting at 9am at the art market.
Here are some photos. More will follow in a couple of days.

HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE GILIS?
It is no island paradise for the SLAVE HORSES horses. It's hell on earth.
FACT: These wild horses are captured on neighbouring Indonesian islands with pit traps until they are so tired and succumb to the handlers.
FACT: They are shipped and sold to the Gilis and worked to extreme lengths, fed little food, with basic shelters and only being provided SALT WATER which is killing them.
FACT: Usually with a lifespan of 25-30 years, the life of a Gili Horse rarely passes 2 years.
FACT: Tourists are perpetuating the torture of these animals. Stop using the horses and you stop the cycle of animal abuse.

HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE GILIS?
It is no island paradise for the SLAVE HORSES horses. It's hell on earth.
FACT: These wild horses are captured on neighbouring Indonesian islands with pit traps until they are so tired and succumb to the handlers.
FACT: They are shipped and sold to the Gilis and worked to extreme lengths, fed little food, with basic shelters and only being provided SALT WATER which is killing them.
FACT: Usually with a lifespan of 25-30 years, the life of a Gili Horse rarely passes 2 years.
FACT: Tourists are perpetuating the torture of these animals. Stop using the horses and you stop the cycle of animal abuse.
Our animal clinics start tomorrow! Hopefully we will get lots of cats and horses to the clinics! I will try to put updates on how it's going at some point next week, so keep on following this blog and our FB-page too!
BARC, an animal welfare organization from Bali, are also joining us. They are sending a team of 8 vet students and are coming with medicines etc. It is great to get together to work for a good cause. See the picture and message from BARC under it (copied from their FB-page).
