Those are "The Cat Who..." books. I also used to read Rita Mae Brown's books and ran across a non-mystery one of hers that I really liked called "Dolley Madison in Love and War" which is a historical novel. Your wife might also be interested in the ones I read since it appears we have the same tastes...
