"Joe Grey is the perfect detective. Naturally curious and light on his feet, he has a knack for blending in and laying low. From the alleys to the wharfs, the dumpsters to the diners, he knows every single nook of the small coastal community of Molena Point. No security clearance? No problem. When the case calls for a little inside information, Joe simply pitter-patters across the police chief's laptop or takes a strategic nap under the right desk. Joe Grey, you see, is a cat. ... 'Spend enough time with a cat and you'll find it easy to believe that they think, they figure things out, they form opinions. They are manipulative, they feel emotions, and they know how to get what they want using their most obnoxious or their most endearing ways,' says [Patricia] Fry, whose mischievous star Rags can't keep his sticky little paws to himself. 'When you consider this, just look at all you have to work with in developing and maintaining a character.' "
