Stewball - I agree. So many cat books focus on the people and their illnesses and disorders, not the cats. I call these books 'journey' books and they are a real trend at the moment so a lot of writers are jumping on the bandwagon - with true-life tales of how a cat saved me/my health/my...

By the way, you can see Honey Cat on TV - she is in the background whilst I (and my mum) were interviewed for a feature on ITV Wales in August. A friend who say the TV news said to me later: I WANT ONE! http://www.itv.com/news/wales/story/2013-07-26/wales-biggest-hospital-dangerous/ Honey cat...

Just found this thread. I am in the UK so our books may be different from those across the pond! As for the cat books I like - well, I am always attracted to humour - fiction or non-fiction.  Terry Pratchett is a big author in the UK - he wrote The Unadulterated Cat - a non-fiction amusing book...

Yes, I agree - I think a campaign is needed in countries where declawing seems standard (the USA and Canada). I am also considering including a plot-line about it in the as-yet-unwritten sequel to my novel.. I shall definitely be featuring some American cats in that (from a film set) so I could...

I have never heard about de-clawing happening in the UK - but I wouldn't be surprised if foreign residents living in posh apartments in London have it inflicted on their poor cats. In fact, I was utterly unaware of declawing at all (I though such things had died out with the Tarzan movies...

I agree with you. Here is the UK very few cats indeed are declawed - in fact I have never known one be declawed, though it's not illegal (just frowned upon and seen as cruel). I was shocked a few years ago when I stayed with a friend in Canada, and all his friends with cats had declawed them...

Maybe he has a bit of diarrhoea? If so, a vet can prescribe some paste to firm up the stools. We have a similar issue. Our semi-longhaired 2-year old Bumble (a 'she' but we can her 'he' because of very tom-like behaviour!) has the same problem. Because he's so feisty, it is hard to get near...

Your two cats look lovely! We have a big heat  wave in the UK at the moment - hot hot HOT. (We're not used to it!)  So lots of very irritable and cross cats - (and dogs) - around! (lots of dog-on-human bites being treated in the local hospital, as well as usual injuries with lawnmowers and...

One picture (of Bumble) is in my avatar photo. Bumble is a she, but we tend to car her 'he' as she's very tom-like, and fierce with it, and grumpy in the heat! Our other 2 year old is a pretty tabby-torti cross called Honey. Very quiet, graceful, small and elegant - and great at losing her...

Hi everyone, To introduce myself: I am Jem Vanston, an author. I live in Swansea, Wales, UK, with my two rescue cats Honey (pretty torti-tabby) and Bumble (semi-longhaired black), both female and just over 2 years old, who have lived with us since August 2012 (after their previous owner, a...
