Apparently this is a book for cat lovers, I found it really scary.

It reads like the writer was given the task of trying to re write one of TS Eliot's poems from Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats.

It's very wordy; I felt like I was back in English class trying to decipher hidden meanings.

You don't really come away liking the cat, due to all the killing she does, Although my husband did say, they missed out the bit where you are lovingly stroking your cat and the cat turns on you and scratches you in the face.

The illustrations are very good and again a bit gothic I think this is one for teenagers or people who like the fact their cat is a secret bullying killer of small animals.
