**THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** A hilarious collection of Hercule Van Wolfwinkle's 'extremely realistic' pet portraits. Warning: may not be suitable for anyone who actually likes animals or has the ability to see. Not only does Hercule's unusual talent shine through on every page, each portrait is captioned with a review written by its bewildered recipient: "Tell ya what mate, why don't you get back to me when you've drawn a picture of my actual dog" "It gets worse and worse the more your eyes scan down the page. Which is really quite the achievement given how bad her face looks" "We really miss Marley. If I ever think I might be forgetting what he looked like, I can gaze at your portrait and know it was nothing like that."

It's happened to all of us: we fall asleep alone and wake up cuddling a cat. But that isn't our cat. We don't own a cat. Of course, that hasn't stopped him from breaking in and finding the most comfortable bit of the linen closet to claim as his own. Whether it's our next-door neighbor's tabby who always appears in our yard or a ragdoll who has somehow slipped through the open window on the second floor, cats have a way of ending up in our lives (and cupboards) when we least expect it. This Is Not My Cat is a collection of stories and photos of the cats around the world who have charmed their ways into our lives (and occasionally scared us in our bathrooms).

Getting a new puppy or kitten is such an exciting time for any family and should be the start of a beautiful, long friendship. Picking a breed can be difficult and is sometimes a choice made on an impulse because a certain look or character seems to be just what you want. Sadly, a snap decision can turn into heartache if the breed you pick doesn't suit your lifestyle or has health issues that you didn't know about. Some breeds of dogs and cats have body shapes that are not healthy and can cause a lifetime of discomfort. Selective breeding has produced features like short faces, tiny legs, long backs, huge ears and lots of skin wrinkles. Some breeds also have high levels of inherited disease like heart problems. These unnatural exaggerations and inherited issues can not only mean big bills and frequent visits to the vet but also a less than ideal life for your pet. This book will help you avoid the breeds most affected by health problems. We look at what Mother Nature and evolution picked for cats and dogs compared to what man has done through breeding. Hopefully you will start to see these odd body shapes not as normal for a breed, but as unhealthy changes to our beautiful cats and dogs. We'll also look at how you can try to find the best breeder possible and avoid the likes of puppy farmers who care more about money than their animals. Somewhere out there, a puppy or kitten is waiting to become a cherished part of your family and I hope this book will help you find the right one. Dogs and cats are wonderful animals and enrich our lives so let's try and make sure that they are as healthy and happy as possible.

For some reason this kind of prey is usually greeted with human laughter. To get a male human off an armchair, jump on the back of it, hold down his head with a firm paw and lick his bald patch. Purring right into the ear is one of the kindest ways to tell a human being that it is time to get out of bed.
