Funny,poignant and philosophical,'The Cats of Moon Cottage' celebrates the joys and the heartache of living with cats.Beautifully written,it tells the true story of two cats.One is the loyal,but independent Septi,very much his own cat,established as lord of his domain within Moon Cottage.The other is Otto,a tiny,delicate tortoiseshell kitten,who joins the household as the story begins and who,for her survival and in a manner particular to her,must set out to win Septi over.This wonderful memoir will ring true with all who love cats,and is a testimony and a tribute to that unique and rewarding relationship which exists bewteen humans and their feline companions in which cats,in their splendid complexity,remain among us,but not of us. Peter Warner studied drawing and painting at Wimbledon School of Art and the Royal Acadeny Schools.He has illustrated many books on domestic and wild cats,notably 'The Book of the Cat' and 'Perfect Cats'. He has also designed many internationally well-known advertising icons, such as Friskies and Whiskas cats,and Hush Puppies dogs.See more at www.peterwarner.com.
