Someone asked me if the cat pictured on the cover of Eula May and the Flim Flam Nun had a name. He does have a name and even plays an important role in the story. Eula May finds him abandoned at the trailer home of Sister Claire of the Holy Cloth. The nun is dead and may have been murdered. Because Eula May has a bad history with the nun she is afraid she might be accused of the woman's murder. When she realizes it might be a while before the nun's body is discovered and it's too cold to shove the cat outside, she decides to adopt the cat. Because the little cat sways when it walks and because one of Eula May's favorite all time movies is "Dirty Dancing," starring the late, great Patrick Swayze, she names the kitty 'Swayzie'. She worries, though, that she'll be in jeopardy if anyone recognizes the cat as Sister Claire's. The cat illustrates Eula May's kind heart and also provides humorous events throughout the book. I love cats. How about you?
