This title celebrates the joys and the heartache of living with cats. It tells the true story of two cats. One is the old, loyal, but independent Septi, very much his own cat, established as lord of his domain within Moon Cottage. The other being Otto, a tiny, delicate tortoiseshell kitten, who joins the household as the story begins and who, for her survival and in a manner particular to her, must set out to win Septi over. This memoir should ring true with all who love cats and is a testimony and a tribute to that unique and rewarding relationship which exists between humans and their feline companions in which cats, in their splendid complexity, remain among us, but not of us. There is a shocked fury from the furriest member of the Moon Cottage household when Marilyn brings home the flighty, flirty and enchanting young queen - Otto. And so begins the beguiling of Septi, an old tom, who finds his world shattered when Marilyn introduces the kitten to his home. This true tale of the two well-loved cats is incisively observed and tenderly written. Marilyn pinpoints the ever-changing relationship between the cats, as Otto woos and eventually wins over Septi, and their environment. Without giving too much away it is a book of love, birth, death and the changing seasons beautifully poised and told through laughter and grief.

Warner, Peter, 1939-
