A survey of the cat and its 7,000-year relationship with mankind.
Using illustrations drawn mainly from the British and Natural
History Museums, this book looks at the different roles cats have
played in human life and how modern breeds have evolved from the
original wild cat.
When Denis O'Connor and his wife Catherine return to Owl Cottage,
only to find it in a dilapidated state, they decide to restore his
former home. But the memory of Denis's beloved cat, Toby Jug, still
lingers on. On impulse, he buys four Maine Coon kittens and names
them Pablo, Carlos, Luis and Max. Set against the wilds of the
Northumbrian coast, Denis tenderly and humorously charts the ups
and downs of life with his mischievous new cats. Forays into this
beautiful countryside - in order to train his cats to bond more
closely with him - are never without incident. However, when Pablo
disappears, Denis is once again reminded of Toby Jug and the
strength of bond between man and cat... Praise for Paw Tracks in
the Moonlight: 'A charming book that will appeal to all ages' The
Pulse. 'This genuinely endearing cat's life story is going to warm
the cockles of hearts all over the world' Lancashire Evening Post.
