Cat Laughing Last by Shirley Rosseau Murphy

Description: Violence and theft at a yard sale? Murder because of an eBay auction? The body on Susan's Brittain's breakfast room floor first thing in the morning, and all her treasured purchases flung about and broken are not a good start to Susan's day. But the criminal involvement is far wider than she imagines, and will disrupt many more lives than hers. Joe Grey and Dulcie suspect as much. The two cats, with their unique ability to break-and-enter where the cops can't go, begin to gather evidence.

Meanwhile the cats' human friends deal with a famous author and his ill-tempered wife as they try to produce his play without coming to blows. And several senior ladies seek an innovative solution to retirement security, using their revenue from eBay and yard sales. But Joe Grey and Dulcie, digging into California history, discover that certain artifacts appearing at those same sales hold the key to the puzzle. The crudely carved antique casks, legacy of a Spanish bride two-hundred years dead, are the link the cats have searched for.

Yet it is the tortoiseshell kit, fascinated by the delights of theater production, who nearly gives away the cats' greatest secret. Kit, with her own surprising venture, almost alerts the entire village that these cats can speak and are more perceptive, sharper of wit than most humans could ever imagine.
