Ten-year-old Bertie Fletcher has only ever wanted one thing - a pet - but her grumpy dad won't allow her so much as a goldfish. So, to score herself plenty of animal time, she sets us a secret pet-sitting service. The perfect solution . . . or is it? Her first ward, Kaboodle, may just give her more than she bargained for! A funny, heart-warming and slightly cat-astrophic story about a kitten whose tongue is sharper than his claws.
One night Tessa's dad comes home with a litter of kittens he found by the side of the road. The family can't keep the whole "kit and caboodle" but they adopt two of them. Tessa learns the delights of kitten company and why it is so important to "fix" our beloved pets. Tessa's mother demonstrates with large pieces of paper and rubber stamps of cats just how many kittens could be born to a single mom cat every year.

The first edition (1995) of the "Whole Kitten Caboodle" lists every "Kitten" in the world and All Kittens are directly related. We have traced our roots to 1100 A. D.. All of the Kitten Surname have traced their roots to Ibbenburen, West Germany with their address "From Kitte To Hollenberke", Cousin Reinhold Kitten lives on this land which has been owned by the Kitten Family since the 1100's. The name "Kitte" in German means CEMENT. The mountain is being mined even today for coal and cement products. Some German plurals are often formed by adding an "n" so one could say that the name "Kitten" could easily be translated as "the people from Kitte." The second edition has the original 360 page book "The Whole Kitten Caboodle"and most exciting of all is JERRY'S version of the family tree and who inspires and motivates the FAMILY. My 84 pages include such items as bravery and fear, how close are they, a challenge is not required, our wisdom comes from challenges and wisdom is actually the ability to DISCERN DIFFERENCE. And lastly our ancestors searched for a better life and Jerry's question to you is: When did you receive that desire to search for a better life?
