Description
by Doreen Tovey (Author)
Never a dull moment in Doreen's household! For cat lovers old and new - particularly those whose lives are ruled by feline fancy!
There's a new kid on the block... The Toveys are no strangers to disaster, particularly the Siamese-related kind, but when their beloved Solomon dies unexpectedly, they're faced with a completely new type of problem - do they find another cat to replace the one they've lost? The animals always win in the Tovey household. It is with the interests of Solomon's (very audibly) grieving sister Sheba at heart that Doreen and Charles set off in search of Solomon Secundus, affectionately known as Seeley. Joined by a myriad of endearing characters, Seeley ensures he's living up to Solomon's standards in just the amount of time it takes to fall in a fishpond... THE NEW BOY continues Doreen Tovey's memoirs about living with Siamese cats - and other animals: set in the British countryside, it is told with wit, mischief, and above all humour. 'To be sure, Miss Tovey speaks a cat person cult language but she writes amusingly of other country matters - local gossip and characters, a quite frenzied misadventure in bee keeping, and of course Annabel. For those pet owners to whom catering to animal whims is part of the fun' - Kirkus Review 'If you love cats, you'll enjoy every chapter of each book in this witty, warm-hearted collection' - Your Cat Magazine 'No-one writes about cats with more wit, humour and affection than Doreen Tovey. Every word is a delight!' - The People's Friend 'Doreen has a wonderful, warm, and witty way with words that bring the personality of each cat to life and perfectly describe her love of them.' - Life With Siamese Cats 'Every so often, there comes along a book - or if you're lucky books - which gladdens the heart, cheers the soul... Just such books are those written by Doreen Tovey' - Cat World FELINE FROLICS SERIESBook One: Cats in the Belfry
