narrated with a rare gentleness and humour The Travelling Cat Chronicles explores the wonder

knowing when to give and when to take. In The Goodbye Cat seven cats weave their way through
their owners' lives. Bursting with empathy and love it explores the unstoppable cycle of life

with them. ___ Readers adore THE TRAVELLING CAT CHRONICLES and THE GOODBYE CAT: 'Delightful
