I too, have finished reading the entire series again. I have made it a point to read the entire series every year, (and sometimes twice a year), and have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of "Smoke". It was truly a great disappointment to learn that the book will not be released. I have been an avid fan for so long, these books are near and dear to my heart. I will miss LJB dearly.

I have been enjoying The Cat Who series with my cat! Lu Lu and I get all cozy and warm and listen for hours. I have learned alot about cats from listening to Ms Braun and I hope she will have more mysteries for us, but I guess I'll have to learn to be grateful for what she has given us….and I know I can always hear them again.

I hope that Lilian Jackson Braun is still alive and I can't wait to see a new book from the series "The Cat Who…". I love these books. I'm a huge russian fan of Qwill, Koko and Yum-Yum.

I feel like I've been left with a cliff hanger and was looking forward to reading another or at least the last of "The Cat Who" books and am very dissappointed. Please, if Ms. Braun is unable to finish the series, isn't there one of her children or close friend that can finish the book. I have been looking everywhere for "The Cat Who Smelled Smoke" book and now I find that it is not even being written. What a let down.

My Mom and I have been reading the stories of Qwill, Koko and Yum Yum for many years. Each year we looked forward to the next book coming out with anticipation. In my heart, I had hoped that LJB would mentor a new writer that would be able to keep the wonderful magic alive for many years to come.
I will always be grateful for the wonderful stories that brought my Mom and I closer together.

I, too, am a big fan and have read all of the "Cat Who" series several times. Can anyone confirm if LJB is still alive, let alone still writing? I fear that 60 Whiskers will be the last.
I have never enjoyed an author or cast of characters more and probably never will.
Ditto your sentiments Linda, thank you for sharing, Ms.B, whever you are.

I just finished reading the entire "Cat Who…" series straight through for the fourth time. Yes, the last few installments were less of a mystery than the earlier ones, but so what? After 30+ years of Ms. Braun's efforts, Qwill, Koko and Yum Yum are dear friends whose world is a familiar part of my own.
I hate to think that we'll hear no more from them, but even if "Sixty Whiskers" is the last offering of Ms. B's, I'm ever so grateful that she has shared all of her "Cat Who…" stories with us!

I too found the "Sixty Whiskers", somewhat boggling. But come on, if I may be so mentally fit to be writing at the same age as Ms. Braun then all I can say is Thank you Jesus and Bring on the publishers!!!!!!!!
In all seriousness we can only hope that Ms. Braun will see fit to end the series graciously and not leave all her devoted fans wondering what next.

I have to admit that I was somewhat disappointed in the "Sixty Whiskers" book. I've been a fan of LJB for many years and have enjoyed all the "Cat Who…" books. I fear that LJB has lost her edge. I found "Sixty Whiskers" (while indeed cozy) had little plot and very little mystery.
Unfortunately all good things must eventually end, but if so, maybe it will end on a high note.
