A leaky pipe distracted me on Friday so this Brainstorm got a little bit delayed, but the pipe is fixed now and the Brainstorm is ready to go. As promised, I have the 2nd batch of cat books today. This time featuring my favorite cat comics, manga, and graphic novels. Click on the titles to see my full review and any content notes/trigger warnings. Next week it is the dog’s turn.

Katie the Catsitter (Katie the Catsitter, #1) by Colleen A.F. Venable, ill. by Stephanie Yue
Katie is trying to find a way to earn money so she can join her two best friends for at least one week of camp this summer. So far, she's learned that the older gentleman in her apartment is crazy fit and she's a wimp at carrying groceries. She is better at killing plants than watering them. And she's not so gifted in the cleaning department either. When her upstairs neighbor Ms. Lang hears that Katie is trying to earn money for camp, she offers her a catsitting gig. Every night Katie goes and spends a few hours with Ms. Lang's 217 (!) cats and tries to survive the experience. These cats are insane! But rather than give up, Katie is determined to beat these felines at their own game and win this battle of wits. But what is going on with the superheroes in the city? And why does Ms. Lang happen to be gone every night the villain Mousetress strikes? And why has her best friend stopped writing her as frequently from camp?
