Throughout the 1900s Deric Longden has shared his life with a blind novelist, Aileen Armitage, and four cats: Thermal, Tigger, Frink and shabby old Arthur. And the cats have found that sharing a life with Aileen can be a very painful business. She hardly ever trips over them these days, but they are always in danger of being mistaken for a cardigan, or inadvertently locked in the cellar.

Ever since Thermal came in from the cold, Deric has seen his world increasingly taken over by cats. What with planning their menus, entertaining their friends, listening to their worries and observing their adventures, he has little time left over for his professional life as a writer. But there are rich rewards. One way or another, the cats in the Longden household are an endless source of interest and laughter.

Lovely book. Laughed out loud a couple of times so it was a good job I wasn't reading it in public. I think I know someone who'd like to read it too so I'm marking it reserved.

Taking to meet up with another bookcrosser.

Lovely to meet up and exchange books today. I have read "The Cat Who Came in from the Cold" by this author so I know I will enjoy this one.

Hilarious. I loved The Cat who came in from the Cold and this is just as good. I laughed out loud a few times especially when Ralph Junior made an appearance.
I have a friend who will enjoy this so will pass it on to her.

My friend really enjoyed it but she said it was quite sad in places and I had told her it wasn't. Oops

I am releasing this book in memory of Veganbob, a lovely bookcrosser who recently died. He loved cats.
RIP Bob
