Bonnie Elizabeth
Bonnie Elizabeth could never decide what to do, so she wrote stories about amazing things and sometimes she even finished them. While rejection stung her so badly in person, she spent most of her young life talking to cats and dogs rather than people, she was unusually resilient when it came to rejections on her writing, racking up a good number of them. Floating through a variety of jobs, including veterinary receptionist, cemetery administrator, and finally acupuncturist, she continued to write stories. When the internet came along (yes, she’s old), she started blogging as her cat, because we all know cats don’t notice rejection. Then she started publishing. Bonnie writes in a variety of genres. Her popular Whisper series is contemporary fantasy and her Teenage Fairy Godmother series is written for teens. She has published in a number of anthologies and is working on expanding her writing repertoire. She lives with her husband (who talks less than she does) and her three cats, who always talk back. You can find out more about her books at her publisher, My Big Fat Orange Cat Publishing.

Introduction
I was moved to write this short book when I took a few extra and un-liked cans of cat food to my local cat shelter, Purrfect Pals. I was moving from Duvall, Washington, outside of Seattle, to Charlotte, North Carolina in a few weeks. I also carried a couple of autographed cat books and a cat carrier box full of toys, some new, some gently used. The women at the shelter asked me if I was taking
my
cats
.
To me that was a foolish question. Of course I was taking my cats! Who wouldn’t? About the fourth time they thanked me for taking my cats with me on the move, I got it. Not everyone took their cats when they moved, particularly not long distance.
I can’t imagine moving without mine. They are part of the family. Yes, it would be distressing, and yes, driving across country with them was looking like a monumentally stressful task, but I couldn’t make another decision. So I started thinking about why people would leave behind a cat so I could address those concerns.
Knowing cats, I knew cats hated any change in their routine. Five days on the road was a major change, not to mention a new house. I knew it could be done. Finding a place to stay with a cat could be difficult, but again, I knew it could be done. Finding a house or apartment in a new city when you have a cat could be
