Finally Dixie must go it alone to confront criminals who will stop at nothing to get what they want.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Blaize Clement's wildly popular pet-setting sleuth is back in another madcat adventure with

"Raining Cat Sitters and Dogs"""

Curiosity is always a killer for former police officer Dixie Hemingway. Even a trip to pick up her parrot at the veterinarian's office is bound to turn up something..."curious."..and the teenager Dixie meets in the waiting room is no exception. "Jaz," as she calls herself, is inconsolable after her stepfather ran over a rabbit with his car. Really? Dixie's animal-like instinct tells her that something's not quite right about this Jaz--and she's going to make it her "purr"sonal business to find out more. Even if that means going on a wild-goose chase, from the pampered luxury of Siesta Key's exclusive resorts to the gang wars being fought in the back alleys, to ferret out the truth. And not get caught with her tail between her legs in the process...
