I am Cat by Jackie Morris, with help from Pixie
illustrated by Jackie Morris
to be published by Frances Lincoln

For a long time now I have lived with cats and have thought about working on a cat book.

I have three cats, two ginger and a tabby. Sometimes the cats walk with me when I take the dogs out. Sometimes when I walk to the high hill top they come, for company, to sit and help me read, think, write. Whenever I sit down one or more will come and sit with or on me, caring not of they are between me and a book I am reading or writing. In the winter they curl like amonites, sleeping and dreaming their cat dreams and it is this that has inspired this book.

 

My cats have had their own blog for a long time: We Three Cats

 

 

 

 

'I am Cat. At night I prowl, but in the day I sleep, curled in warm places, amonite tight. And when I sleep I dream.'

• Order on line either direct from publishers or from one of the big on-line booksellers
• If you are after one of the books that is out of print try and find it on abebooks.com They have a fantastic resource for tracking down out of print books.
