Book description
A heart-warming true account of how the ugliest cat found a home at last.
Tilly has spent most of her adult life in an Oxfordshire shelter,
unchosen, unwanted and practically feral. Seeking a distraction from
her own troubles, the author and renowned pet columnist, Celia Haddon
begins a project to transform Tilly into a household pet.
Through Tilly's journey from unwanted and unadoptable cat to adored
pet, Celia begins to explore her own inward journey and the way that
cats had helped her through the difficulties of childhood and middle
age, through to self knowledge. By loving Tilly she found she could
love her inner self.
