Dear Cat Lover,

If you love cats then you'll absolutely adore Vernon Coleman's book, 'We Love Cats' - it's a real celebration of cats!
Following on in the tradition of Vernon Coleman's other cat books ('Alice's Diary' and Alice's Adventures') 'We Love Cats' is packed with humour and insight into the way cats think, behave and quietly run our lives.
'We Love Cats' contains over 100 new and original squiggly Vernon Coleman drawings (he calls them 'catoons') plus loads of poems, limericks and amazing facts about cats.

Yours Sincerely,

Donna Davidson

Paws For Thought

'You and I have something important in common: we both love cats.
A love of cats transcends everything else. It doesn't matter how old you are, where you live or what you do with the rest of your life, we have a fundamental passion that draws us together: we're catfriends. And so I hope you get as much pleasure out of this collection of catfacts, quotations, silly limericks and squiggly drawing and 'catoons' as I got out of putting it all together'.

Vernon Coleman


Cat Tale

Two pretty young tabbies called Tiddles
Liked fish but only the middles
They claimed they were poor
When eaten quite raw
So they baked them at home on their griddles.

'I am enough of a cat lover to be suspicious of a household that doesn't have a cat...'
Kingsley Amis

'She sits composedly sentinel, with paws tucked under her a good part of her days at present, by some ridiculous little hole, the possible entry of a mouse.'
Henry David Thoreau


Cat Tale

A rumbustious wee kitten from Wales
Was purchased quite cheap in the sales
The couple who bought him
Had been out a courtin'
And were fond of small creatures with tails.

'A man waits on a cat hand and foot for weeks, humouring its lightest whim, and it goes and leaves him flat because it has found a place down the road where fish is more frequent.'
P.G. Wodehouse

quote by Colette - 'There are no ordinary cats'.



Cat Tale

A black and white kitten called Spot
Caused trouble, all day quite a lot,
He fell down the stairs,
Scratched all the chairs,
And he loved the attention he got.
