The Little Book of Cats

Time spent with cats is never wasted.

Comforting, cuddly, cute… What could be better than the presence of a fabulous feline fur-ball? As well as being totally adorable, cats are fiercely independent, curious and mischievous – and they make wonderful, low-maintenance companions. Research has shown that a purring cat on your knee – or quite possibly lying across your computer keyboard! – is the perfect antidote to stress. It’s no wonder these superior beings have inspired many a bon mot or wise insight over the decades. Packed full of wonderful quotes as well as fascinating snippets of information, this little book is the purr-fect gift for any cat lover.

‘In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods. They have never forgotten this.’

Terry Pratchett.

‘Unlike a human smile, purring cannot be, as far as anyone knows, faked.’

Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats: A Journey Into the Feline Heart, 2002.

‘Dogs come when they’re called; cats take a message and get back to you later.’

Mary Bly.

‘Cats have it all – admiration, endless sleep, and company only when they want it.’

Rod McKuen.
