The "Cat Who" books center around the life of former newspaper reporter James Qwilleran, and his two Siamese cats, KoKo and Yum Yum in the fictitious small town of Pickax located in Moose County, "400 miles north of everywhere." Although never formally stated in the books, the towns, counties and lifestyles described in the series are generally accepted to be a modeled after Bad Axe, Michigan (located in the "Michigan Thumb") where she resided with her husband for many years until the mid 1980's. Many also believe that the culture and history of the Upper peninsula of Michigan are represented in the series as well, which is quite possible as it is indeed a fictitious location.

In all of the reaserach i have done, it looks like lilian Jackson braun is still alive and writing to this day, although i do have an inkling that she may have died and that the biographies i have read are outdated. However, i did read one article that was last updated october 8/09, so it looks like there may be a 30th "Cat Who..." book yet! :D
