After Cleo, a crazy Siamese kitten called Jonah bounced into our lives. With daughter Lydia determined to move to a Sri Lankan monastery while I was about to undergo breast cancer surgery, I swore another cat was the last thing we needed.
But then Mum always said I should never swear.
This is the story of how one cat leads to another, that rebellious felines and daughters have more in common than you might think. And how I learned compromise and medication can be okay.
The book has been released in the UK and Australasia, where it pounced on to best seller lists. It will be on sale in Germany later this year and in the US in April 2013.
