TITLES
‘There are no ordinary cats,’ Colette, the French writer once wrote. This collection of poems celebrates the extraordinary cats I have met over the years. Some have seized large slices of my life in their tenacious claws, while others have padded softly on the fringes of my existence.
The inspiration for each poem is included in the ‘Paw Notes’ at the back of the book.
I invite you to meet my clowder and to share their stories.
