'This cat talks a lot of sense and so does Maisie Maddox lovely!' KATIE FFORDE
'Her love for animals and the English countryside shines through.' DAILY EXPRESS
Maisie Maddox is wondering if love has passed her by. Then, into her life walks Augustus ('call me Gus') Moon: debonair (beneath his slightly shabby exterior), loving and looking for commitment. But he is not the man of her dreams he is an abandoned cat who has taken the unilateral decision that Maisie will be his new mistress. As Maisie and Gus learn to rub along together we see how Gus brings joy into the house - along with dead mice and feral family members. And Gus gets to experience first hand the chaos that is a woman in search of a man: the wardrobe crises, the drunken girly chats, the perilous one-night stands and the swooning over dishy vets. Interspersed with Gus's own comments on his mistress's exploits, The Tail of Augustus Moon is as warm and funny as a cuddle from a mischievous moggy.

Making the Rounds with Oscar Ref: 56298
The inspirational true story of a doctor, his patients and a very special cat.
In the Summer of 2007 Oscar the cat made headlines around the world. Why? Because he knows when the patients in the Rhode Island hospice where he lives are going to die. Oscar curls up on their beds, keeps them company and enables their families to be with their loved ones at the end. Dr David Dosa's job is to respond to people's medical needs, treat them for their ailments and communicate with their families. Oscar takes care of the rest. He is a steady companion and, because of him, patients don't die alone. Can a cat really predict death? Is he smelling something or responding to behavioural clues? Is he helping guide souls to heaven? Oscar's warm and profound story is heartfelt, sometimes even funny, but always inspiring.

Cleo - How a Small Black Cat Helped Heal a Family Ref: 56297
For all those people who say they aren't cat people, but deep down know they are.
Helen Brown wasn't a cat person, but her nine-year old son Sam was. So when Sam heard someone mention that her cat had just had a litter, he pleaded to go and see them.
Seeing Sam holding one of the tiny kittens in his hands, Helen was powerless to resist and the deal was done - to be delivered when the kitten was big enough to leave her mother.
Just a week later Sam was killed in a road accident. Not long after this, a little black kitten was delivered to the family's doorstep. totally numbed by Sam's death, Helen had completely forgotten about the new arrival, which belonged in another universe when Sam was still alive.
Helen was ready to send her back, but Sam's younger brother, Rob, identified with the kitten who'd also lost her brothers. Stroking her, it was the first time Helen had seen him smile since Sam's death. There was no choice, the kitten - dubbed Cleo - had to stay.
Cleo's immense character slowly taught the family to laugh again, giving them hope of getting back to normal. She went on to become the high priestess of Helen's household - vetoing her new men, terrifying visiting dogs and playing an integral role in their lives to become both a guardian and a friend.
