"This book constitutes the best-spent twenty minutes I've had in quite some time.” — What Book is That.

In an uncertain world there is one organization that stands head and small furry shoulders above the rest. Whenever the planet is in danger – be it from giant balls of wool or bands of renegade squirrels – only one group is guaranteed to answer the call.

The International Kittens of Mystery!

This is a journal of their stories. For the first time, cameras have been allowed into one of their top secret training camps – Training Camp Alpha. A camp where, under the supervision of pet humans, recruits are shown not only how to save the world but also how to manage their secret identities.

If you like a fun story with pictures of cute kittens saving the planet, this is the book for you.

It's a short read – about 30 minutes – and contains 75 large color pictures.

REVIEWS

“Cat pictures! Silly jokes! Adventures! Exclamation points! This book constitutes the best-spent twenty minutes I've had in quite some time.” — What Book is That.

“Hilarious! I can't wait to show this book to my sons. I know it will remain a source of fun for us for years to come.” — The True Book Addict

"Suspense! Intrigue! Silly jokes!! And cute kittens. INTERNATIONAL KITTENS OF MYSTERY has it all. The secrets of training kittens to become international superspies. The gadgetry, the secret knowledge (the power of cute) the combat practice, the mice. If you don't like cuteoverload.com or I can has Cheezburger/lolcats, this is not for you. If you know what those are I'm guessing you're ready for the INTERNATIONAL KITTENS OF MYSTERY." - Andi Schechter

"This delightful little book is a picture book for all ages. The idea is that the kittens are special ops cats, and you're in on their spy training and missions. It's short, fun, a great gift for anyone who loves cats--the pictures are adorable." - Sherwood Smith (author of Crown Duel)

“IKoM is a quick (30 minutes or so) but really fun read. I read it using a 1st generation Kindle, which only shows black-and-white photos, and the photos showed up good enough on it to be able to enjoy them in that format, so don’t let that stop you. Twelve paws up from The Kitty Krew!” — The Kitty Krew.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Chris Dolley is a New York Times bestselling author, a pioneer computer game designer and a teenage freedom fighter. That was in 1974 when Chris was tasked with publicizing Plymouth Rag Week. Some people might have arranged an interview with the local newspaper. Chris created the Free Cornish Army, invaded the country next door, and persuaded the UK media that Cornwall had risen up and declared independence. As he told the police at the time, 'It was only a small country, and I did give it back.'

In 1981, he created Randomberry Games and wrote Necromancer, one of the first 3D first person perspective D&D computer games.

In 2004, his acclaimed novel, Resonance, was the first book plucked out of Baen's electronic slushpile.

In 2012, his novelette, What Ho, Automaton! was a finalist for the WSFA Small Press Award.

Now he lives in rural France with his wife and a frightening number of animals. They grow their own food and solve their own crimes. The latter out of necessity when Chris's identity was stolen along with their life savings. Abandoned by the police forces of four countries who all insisted the crime originated in someone else's jurisdiction, he had to solve the crime himself. Which he did, and got a book out of it - the International bestseller, French Fried: One Man's Move to France With Too Many Animals And An Identity Thief.

If you're not a cat lover, you probably won't be reading this. If you are a cat lover, just quit debating and get it! Stinking cute!
Short book. Lots of pictures. I read on Kindle for PC, so I don't know how the pictures will work on an e-ink (black & white) ereader.

4.0 out of 5 stars Now I'm wondering...

Just what are MY kittens up to while they have me in the thrall of their cuteness? If you are a cat lover, you will smile, chuckle and sometimes outright laugh at this short story shedding light on a more sinister explanation for many common cat antics. This is a very easy read, with many photographs. I have a Touch instead of a Fire, so I did not get to see them in color, but even in black and white the cuteness was irresistible.
If you don't like cats or are looking for something more than a pleasant diversion, you may not fully enjoy the story. If you do love cats, though, you run the risk of being enchanted by the adventures of these "International Kittens of Mystery." Read at your own risk!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Reading
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2023
The first few pages introduce a reader to the goal of the international kittens and their technology, like wickerbowl personal transporters, the orbiting kitten command center, and the stars of the book, Kai (Persian/Tabby), Xena (Tabby) and The Tribbles (Five Bright Orange Gingers). I was immediately charmed, enchanted and hilariously entertained.

The book is illustrated with actual photos of kittens, so this really appealed to the cat lover inside me. The imagined secret agent talents of kittens is a joyous hoot. I was tickled pink about the explanation as to why the kitten’s eyes were a funny color after flying practice and the application of the “Power of Cute”.

I cracked up about the alien death ray device and aliens from the planet, Sheep. Seriously, there are a lot of veiled pop culture references young kids may not get but their parents certainly will, making this little book a hit with kids and adults alike.

There’s even a short plot of mystery that the international kittens of mystery must solve – the president’s wife has been kidnapped! Who would do such a thing? How are they going to save the president’s wife?

This little book is too cute for words. Thank goodness for great kitten shots, secret agents and amazing feline ‘technology’ to save the day. International Kittens of Mystery was a fun read.

"IKoM" is a short (594 locations), entertaining little read loaded with photographs of cute kittens. I couldn't help but enjoy it, although it gave me an itch to raise a couple of the little devils, which I really don't need. LOL!

My advice: download the sample and if you like it, buy the whole thing, because it keeps the same humor and cuteness till the end. It's a fun short story illustrated with photos of the cutest cats while they save the world without our knowledge. We have to thank the universe for the International Kittens of Mistery, otherwise we humans (aka big monkeys) would have been ruled by mice since forever...

The author writes a spy story around "cute" photos of his kittens.

Mildly amusing concept but expanded way beyond what it could support.

This ebook is a collection of charming pictures of very cute kittens loosely linked by a running gag about them being part of an organisation of superkittens who save the world by distracting bad guys with their power of being super-cute. Aaaah!

Slightly less plot than the equally silly but fun  Magical Crimes: Twenty-Four Inches From Tulsa , undeniably adorable photos, unbelievably bizarre imagination - Chris Dolley has done it again. I'm not 100% sure it's worth the list price (I got it for free) but it is very cute and very entertaining.
