The Good, The Bad and The Furry

Tom Cox

The Sunday Times Bestseller: A heartwarming memoir about a man at the mercy of his unpredictable demanding and endlessly lovable cats.

Meet THE BEAR - a cat who carries the weight of the world on his furry shoulders and whose wise owl-like eyes seem to ask Can you tell me why I am a cat please?

Like many intellectuals The Bear would prefer a life of quiet solitude with plenty of time to gaze forlornly into space and contemplate society's ills. Unfortunately he is destined to spend his days surrounded by felines of a significantly lower IQ . . .

RALPH: handsome self-satisfied tabby terrified of the clothes horse.
SHIPLEY: mouthy hooligan and champion mouser rendered insensible by being turned upside-down.
ROSCOE: fiercely independent kitten tormented by her doppelganger in the mirror.

And then there's Tom writing with his usual wit and charm about the unexpected adventures that go hand in hand with a life at the beck and call of four cats . . . or three cats and a sensitive poet who just happens to be a foot high and covered in fur.
