The Cat is an independent animal that comes in many shapes and colours. For the Ancient Egyptians it was a god, for the more modern of us it is a purring bundle of fur trying to trip us over on the way to the fridge. Here our authors have put together 13 tales featuring this most beloved of animals. Yes, 13 is an unlucky numbers and these cats do not promise much in the way of comfort but each tale is a fabulous piece of writing. Masters of their craft such as Mark Twain, Edgar Allan Poe & Algernon Blackwood are joined by many other fine writers to make you think rather differently about our feline friends.........
