Jasper’s gentle & thoughtful investigative style is lovely! Totally different from the stereotypical forceful detective.

Your Poetry with Pets reminded me of my daughter's cat's attention span. Perfect. 😁 Your critters have amazing concentration, solving all sorts of things. ❤️

Thank you, Mary! The Critters definitely have incredible powers of concentration. They are getting closer to cracking the case, but are still behind that eight ball.

Oh my! A malicious guest sending mean texts and tripping critters up. We can’t have that! So glad the critters are on their way to solving this conundrum ☺️✨

Thank you, Trudi! We most certainly cannot have that! J Kitten and crew are going to find out what's really going on behind closed Manor House doors!

Ohh so much happening in this chapter, classism, first responders and kibble scones, oh my! The voice is female! The plot thickens once more. Well done Heidi.

Hmmm...someone seems to know a lot. I wonder how they know that. Steve, who just walked in wonders too. Thanks for another gripping chapter, Heidi and critters, and for the haiku at the end.

Haha, funny line: “Of course, Mr. Sleuth and Perforator of Some Kind of Object or Other Effective Agency,” I enjoyed Chapter 14, Heidi. Also a fine and most appropriate haiku! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the next chapter next week!

Thank you, Neil! So fun that you got a laugh out of the carefully crafted and corrupted title for J Kitten.:) Perhaps you are also a pool shark? Chalk up after every shot and we'll see you next week for Ch. 15!!
