About this title: Deric Longden wasn't a cat lover, but from the moment he saw the tiny kitten sitting on an upturned bucket down in the garden he was hooked. Strictly speaking it was the neighbour's cat, but somehow when the rain started it seemed only natural to bring the little creature inside. Once there, it slipped so easily into Deric's and Aileen's lives that there was an unspoken agreement between all three that it had found its real home.

"Deric Longden's books are witty and imaginative. I must disagree with the lady who thinks Doreen Tovey's books are "laugh till you cry" funny. Tovey's books are OK, they are even quite good, but nothing like as funny or appealing as Deric Longden, who simply leaves her streets behind."
"Cute story of the relationship between the author and a kitten he brought in from the cold outdoors. I liked the conversations between the author the the cats, I could believe the cat was really thinking that way. On the other hand, I got tired of the story. It felt like the author lost track of what he was saying at times. If you can ignore those times, it's an enjoyable read."
"Wonderful! I really enjoyed Longden's writing style. He can make ordinary, mundane situations funny and I chuckled and laughed and smiled. This book was too adorable and I had a great time reading it. I am going to read his other books for sure."
"This book could be young adult fictions -- it's a simple but lovely autobiographical story of a man and the cats who invade his world with snuggles and personality. A quick read."
