“This is the third in the series, and is the best one yet! This series is a must read if you like the Meg Cabot or Lisi Harrison books!”

Jasmine Callihan is back in yet another crazy and zany escapade!
This time Venice, Italy is her prowling grounds.
Despite her father's desperate attempts to keep her out of trouble, Jas finds herself entangled in yet another mystery. Trying to find out who killed her new friend, Arabella, will lead her from small, overstuffed apartments, to churches, and to large manors inhabited by the rich.
Luckily for her, she has many, many allies to help watch her back. And one of them includes a mysterious stranger who might know something about her history.
Full of convoluted mysteries, witty segues, and good fashion, KITTY KITTY is a glittering beach must-have, and the perfect follow-up to BAD KITTY.”
“This was just as good as the first one, but set in italy. The narators personality is EXACTLY like mine, and i love it. This book serves up plenty of sarcasm, and if you likes Bad Kitty, or TTYL you will love this book. ”

“Seventeen-year-old amateur sleuth Jasmine Callihan attracts trouble even when she's trying to be a Model Daughter. On the day before school was to start, her evil father, Dadzilla, announced they were moving to Venice for an indefinite period of time. Jas misses Jack, her rock star boyfriend and her friends in California but she has been banned from using the internet ever since her dad saw the bill for the time she spent fourteen hours hitting the GET MAIL button, praying for Jack's name to pop into her inbox. Jas's new friend from Italian class, Arabella, is fun - but paranoid. She thinks someone is trying to kill her.

When Arabella ends up dead, Jas doesn't believe that it is suicide. She immediately gets embroiled in something dastardly. Her trusty friends introduced in two earlier novels (Bad Kitty and Bad Kitty: Catnipped) fly in from the U.S. to help keep Jas from the same fate as Arabella.
Polly has couture superpower; the ability to outdress anyone. Roxy's superpower is to be able to build things, like a taser out of tweezers. Tom's superpower is to perfectly imitate anyone's voice. Jack's superpower is to disable people with his smile. Poor Jasmine! Her only superpower is that she is attractive to cats.
When Polly arrives, she is horrified to find Jas wearing white leather pants. It doesn't take her long to restyle them into a cute pant-jacket. "The waist of the pants was now the neck of the jacket, and one of the pockets went across the front with a button. Polly was just explaining the safety features of the ensemble - 'The button on the front can be used as a cutting device, the hem of the dress detaches for restraining your hair or bad guys, the pocket can be ripped off and has been reinforced with your Wonderbra underwires to function as a throwing star, the cuff has a two-way radio built in, and we added a Skittles-based tracking device to your boots' - when her phone rang."
Jasmine's first person voice is highly entertaining. At a solemn, conversation-stopper moment "we all got really silent and stared at our nails like we were trying to be best friends with them. Hello tiny pals! Look at you putting the CUTE in CUTICLE!" After a long stretch of little sleep, she declares, "my bed looked like a slice of linen meringue pie and I dove right into it."
Madcap thrills, a touch of danger, amusing sartorial commentary and general hilarity ensue. In the end, everything is "hunky with a side of dory." ”
“Original rating: 7.5/10

"My best friend, Polly, thinks that people should come with warning labels, like mattresses. If they did, mine would be CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS."
The Lowdown:
Jasmine C is a pretty normal 17-year-old teenager. She likes to divide her time solving crimes, learning Italian, hating her dad, solving crimes, and talking with her friends/obsessing over boyfriend. Did I mention solving crimes?
After her dad moves her family almost halfway across the world to Venice, she is catapulted inside a world of international mystique and intrigue when one of her friends gets murdered. Will she solve the crime and stop the growing obsession of her boyfriend?
The Good:
A. Much more fast paced than Bad Kitty.
B. Less "footnotes" to distract the reader (although much longer.)
C. Hilarious.
D. More development of Jasmine's character
E. More secrets about the mysterious J.R.
The Bad:
A. Less involvements of cats
B. Kind of predictable.
C. Cheesy
D. She is kind of a Nancy Drew, which at times can get annoying.
E. Can be kind of confusing.
F. J.R. (kind of copied from Burn Notice.)
The Consensus:
I definitely liked Kitty Kitty over Bad Kitty. The plot was better, the mystery was cooler, and the characters were more hilarious, although at often times not really believable. For example, where was Jasmine going to school? How can you just walk out of a classroom without a call home? So yeah, some facts were incorrect. But if you're looking for something to just pass the time and sort of mellow down, then Kitty Kitty is your kind of read.”
