A beautiful home. A shattering loss. A long desperate journey.
This is a book for cat lovers of all ages who enjoy a good adventure with a happy ending.
Rufus the Siamese was born for a life of comfort at Tythecott, a little thatched cottage nestling in the beautiful Devon countryside. As a cherished pet, his days were filled with warmth, love, and the quiet companionship a pedigree cat deserves.
But when a sequence of unexpected and devastating events shatters his world, Rufus is plunged into a terrifying new existence. Alone and bewildered, he must navigate an outside world he never knew existed-a world of danger, excitement, and harsh realities.
Will his intelligence, courage, and memory of the gentle life he lost be enough to guide him back to the place he belongs?What a charming and enchanting book this turned out to be. In her introduction, Sylvia says that this book will appeal to cat lovers everywhere, but I can say that, as a dog lover, it will actually appeal to all animal lovers everywhere. It has helped me, as a dog person, to understand cats more. During the reading I noticed that Sylvia has that rare skill of feeling and creating a sense of place. You can believe yourself in that environment with Rufus. Also Sylvia has managed to think small and see things from the cat's diminutive point of view. Anthropomorphism is a difficult thing to do well, but Sylvia has managed to do it without the usual sentiment and saccharine. She has easily done it on a level with Black Beauty and The Incredible Journey. It's a great plot too. Therefore I really do recommend this book with five stars... Read it... You won't be disappointed... It's wonderful! - Henry Butterfield: Author and journalist.
