Imagine that, you have been reviewed on the same page as a new Batman comic! Also, very nice review.
The start of the storyline with a detective and a cat reminds me of Dirk Gently. Have you ever read "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency"? (We solve the whole crime - We find the whole person. Phone today for the whole solution to your problem (Missing cats and messy divorces a speciality))
It's brilliant. But of course I'm biased, since Douglas Adams is one of my favourite fiction authors. One reviewer on Amazon called the first book a "Science Fiction Mystery Comedy", which seems about right. Dirk Gently is a private investigator who believes in the "interconnectedness of all things".
Quote: "Of course I will explain to you again why the trip to the Bahamas was so vitally necessary," said Dirk Gently soothingly. "Nothing could give me greater pleasure. I believe, as you know, Mrs Sauskind, in the fundamental interconnectedness of all things. Furthermore I have plotted and triangulated the vectors of the interconnectedness of all things and traced them to a beach in Bermuda which it is therefore necessary for me to visit from time to time in the course of my investigations. I wish it were not the case, since, sadly, I am allergic to both the sun and rum punches, but then we all have our crosses to bear, do we not, Mrs Sauskind?"

Ah, no, haven't read that book. Sounds interesting.
