Belinda Alexandra’s Books in Chronological Order
For readers who want to read the books in order, I’ve listed my novels and non-fiction book in order by publication date for you.
The Cats of Lebanon
One of the great pleasures of having written The Divine Feline: A Chic Cat Lady’s Guide to Woman’s Best Friend, is the beautiful cats and their guardians I have met from around the world. Marshmallow and Snowy Moon are two Instagram stars from Lebanon @marshmallowpaw.
Dear Pebbles: How Do I Get My Cat To Pose For a Photograph?
Dear Pebbles,
I can’t seem to get a good photograph of my cat, Purrito. He is cute as a button but whenever I try to take a photo of him he looks down, or away, or rolls over and starts licking his tushy. The only good photographs I ever get of him are when he is sleeping. What should I do?

Dear Pebbles on: The Zoomies
Dear Pebbles,
My cat, Ferrari, is very fond of tearing around the house late at night. He sleeps all day and then, just as I am turning off the light and snuggling into bed, he starts creating all sorts of havoc: Racing up and down the stairs; knocking vases off tables; playing with the venetian blinds.

Dear Pebbles: Why Do Cats Like Boxes So Much?
Dear Pebbles,
My cat, Jello, has a penchant for boxes and other containers – washing baskets, shopping bags and suitcases. As soon as one appears, Jello can be found sitting in it. Why is that?

The Cat Whisperer: How a Cat Psychologist Can Help Your Kitty
Just as with humans, stress and trauma can have lasting impacts on the well-being of our animal companions. If you love your cat but are concerned by it displaying a negative behaviour, such as aggression towards you or other members of your household; or your cat seems to be in a constant state of anxiety or depression, a professional cat psychologist might just have the answer.
Meet My New Writing Companion, Mr Cockatoo!

In Praise of Mother Cats
With so many more of us working from home due to Covid 19, there has never been a better time to help out your local animal shelter by fostering cats and kittens in order to get them ready for their ‘forever homes’.
Dear Pebbles: How Do I Stop My Cat Biting My Feet?
Dear Pebbles,
I am having a problem with my cat, Chompers. He has a foot fetish. When I am pottering around the house, he will launch at me from under the couch and nip at my feet. He sometimes attacks my toes when I’m lying in bed.

How To Dress Like a Chic Cat Lady – Not a Crazy One!
The feline form is beautiful, elegant and feminine. There is nothing like the sight of a ‘little tiger’ to put a smile on any cat lover’s face. It can be a joy to incorporate cat-inspired clothing into your personal style.
Dear Pebbles: Should I dress my cat as a Christmas Elf?
Dear Pebbles,
Christmas is my favourite time of the year! I decorate my house with tinsel, drape fairy-lights over the trees in the garden, send out glittery cards, and count the days down on the advent calendar until the whole family arrives for feasting and movie marathons until late into the evening. But what should I do about my cat, Frisbee?
How To Be A Fabulous Feline Foster Carer
With so many more of us working from home due to Covid 19, there has never been a better time to help out your local animal shelter by fostering cats and kittens in order to get them ready for their ‘forever homes’.
