Please don’t think me lazy,
I’m not trying to slack –
it’s just that I’m stuck, you see,
under this cat.

This collection of poems focuses on the hilarious happenings in the lives of our furry – and not so furry – friends. Stars include Wilf, the hypnotist Labracadabrador, a philosophically inclined goldfish penning a profound haiku, a hen named Barbara receiving an adoring tribute, and an 'octopussy' cat that seems to have all its paws in plenty of odd little pies.

The perfect gift for a dog person, cat person and every pet lover in between.

From tiny kitten Pippa, who loves to explore slippers, to Paisley the Persian cat, who loves cardboard boxes, and Dave the Devon Rex, who is DEFINITELY not related to the T. rex, this book contains a bunch of adorable cats.

Each is special in its own way, but only one of these lovable fluffballs can be the biggest. A fun surprise at the end of the book reveals just who is the BIGGEST cat in the book.

“I was aware, from the very beginning, that I was a most unusual cat…”

Thomasina is the beloved pet cat of 7-year-old Mary Ruadh, whose strict father is the town's vet. When Thomasina falls ill, her father sees no other option but to put the cat down. Heartbroken by his cruelty, Mary stops speaking to her father and falls dangerously ill herself.

Meanwhile, Thomasina is rescued by Lori, a young woman who lives alone in an isolated glen and is rumoured to be a witch with healing powers.

While Lori helps Thomasina recover from her ordeal, Mary's health continues to deteriorate and it is only when Thomasina makes her miraculous return, on a dark and stormy night, and is reunited with her owner that Mary is pulled from the brink of death.

“If in doubt, wash!”
