Shrieking and howling in a makeshift cage, Mo arrived unceremoniously with police escort at Cats Pause Feline Shelter. In the quiet wine-country township of Seven Oaks, Oregon, where drama is beating a parking ticket or recovering a tipped glass of pinot noir, Mo's 'mum' has been murdered! Suddenly orphaned and facing life as a shelter cat, Mo enlists new-found shelter feline friends, Phillip, Edward and Diana, to help find mum's killer. Mo, though, must keep a secret she feels will bring harm to her new friends, so she teams up with shelter director, Kate Ferguson, to uncover who did the deed. Kate and Mo investigate why a group of California investors is secretly trying to acquire valuable vineyard land. Through links with the community and the local police, they discover the intent of the buy-up is to rezone the farmlands to develop mega-housing, and destroy the delicate ecosystem and wine producing promise of the Jory Hills AVA. A surprise discovery leads them down a path of intrigue and betrayal; by exposing the plot to ruin the land, they expose the murderer.

The Cinco de Mayo Open House at Kats Jory Hills Estate Winery is the preview to the colossal Memorial Day Weekend celebration in Oregon wine country. Having just opened her new B&B, Kate Ferguson, who wears a second hat as director of Cats Pause Feline Shelter, excitedly anticipated the event. That is, until the death of horse trainer and friend, Donald Jenkins cast a pall over the upcoming holiday. When friend (and more) Officer Charles Beltz is assigned to the case, Kate and Commissioner George King vow to help him flush out the culprit. Meanwhile, Mo and her feline friends lead the humans in the town of Seven Oaks in hot pursuit of the killer.

The three cats crawled toward the huge dark object that had so frightened them. It didn't move, but that didn't mean it couldn't move... The looming giant was a Catapult, a scary addition to the pumpkin patch, but inert and harmless. The farmer had moved the contraption into the field earlier that day - before the cats descended upon the grounds for their nightly hunt. As the cats moved cautiously toward the specter, the air was suddenly filled with the scent of something else - death. A human scarecrow stood guard in front of the Catapult. Not that the scarecrow was a living human any longer. In the fourth of the Mo the Shelter Cat Mystery series, Mo and her friends are determined to solve another murder in Wine Country. The felines keep the peace in Seven Oaks, Oregon, and are poster cats for shelters everywhere.
