The
Cat Who Looked at the Sky is the
story of Three Cats, Two
Households and the great truths
of life, and if you are a feline
admirer then this sweet little
memoir is going to make your
holidays. The author, Thea Welsh
and her partner, Michael live on
the outskirts of Sydney in
the middle of a terraced
metropolitan city and have
freeloading puss-cats that
integrate themselves into their
lives on a daily basis, cats
that are technically owned by
neighbouring households, but who
actually accommodate themselves
to all who offer them the
temporarily nicest place to lay
their charms and nibble of a
little delicacy if there happens
to be one available at this
particular abode they have found
themselves in.
After their dearly departed
“Pusscat” is too terribly
missed and next door’s cat,
GB, gets moved on by his real
owners, Thea and Michael have a
dinner party with their good
friends, Ron and Robin. This
gathering is the beginning of
fuzzy things. The foursome
decide somewhat vaguely that
they are going to adopt a pair
of kittens, watch them grow into
fine lovely cats and through all
of this, time share the cats
between their two households.
What ensues is a delightful and engaging
tale written with humour and
honesty that is full of
affectionate cat drama.
This witty book will appeal to
the 50% of the population that
are dedicated cat lovers and the
other 50% of us that just like
to hear a great tail ;-)
