By Jeff Chapman

A therapy cat? Who plays blackjack?

Stu's run of luck at the blackjack table comes to a spectacular and disastrous bad end. With one twenty-five dollar chip remaining, he's facing a month of ramen noodles until his next paycheck. His friend Harv cajoles him into seeing a gambling consultant who offers an unusual solution for Stu to win his money back. A cat. A very special cat. Guaranteed success claims the consultant. In the world of gambling, nothing is guaranteed.

A Cat Called Blackjack is a humorous story filled with a host of quirky characters. If you've ever wanted to take your cat to the casino or want to convince yourself never to set foot in a casino, this story is for you.
