MEWSINGS: MY LIFE AS A JEWISH CAT

In "Mewsings: My Life as a Jewish Cat," the beloved Ketzel pontificates, in rhyme, on what it takes to be a devout calico in a modern Jewish household, especially during the High Holidays. Whether chasing after dreidels (spinning) tops—or latkes—at Hanukkah, taste-testing gefilte fish in preparation for Passover, listening to biblical tales before Rosh Hashanah--or merely observing life & customs on travels to Iceland, Hawaii and New Zealand, Ketzel in her musings accords her own Jewish Mamma a five-meow rating for goodness, mercy and above all, fancy feasts.
