'From the master of animal adventures.'
The Independent on Sunday

An unusual tale of animal madness.

Muriel, the Catlady, lives alone with just her feline friends for company. When a new kitten is born, it soon becomes clear it is no ordinary cat. Vicky is a kitten with a very regal character, and strangely enough, was born on the very day that Queen Victoria died.

'Another enjoyable story from an author who excels in giving animals real character.'
Junior
