Book description
Truffles is no ordinary cat - in fact she would claim that she is very
special indeed, and who would dare to argue with her? Her nineteen plus
years of observing human behaviour, often mystifying and comical, have
equipped her with all the wisdom and cunning necessary to use the human
environment and its two-legged inhabitants to her best advantage and, as
is the ambition of all cats, she has learnt how to make her existence as
comfortable as possible. In this diary Truffles allows us to take a very
privileged peek through her discerning eyes as she describes her
thoughts and day-to-day activities (or lack of them!) Written in three
weekly parts, the first from when she approaches her milestone sixteenth
birthday followed up by catch-ups over the next two years, Truffles also
recounts an assortment of amusing, true anecdotes from her past
involving her feline and canine pals, but with the last laughs most
often being on the hapless humans. What is quite clear is that
twenty-first century cats are a far superior species in terms of getting
what they want, when they want and with the minimum amount of effort,
and the very humanised Truffles is no exception. She has her human
carers well trained to carry out their expected feline-orientated duties
to her exacting standards, is always one step ahead of them and knows
exactly which buttons to press to get the desired effect... which only
goes to prove that it is a cat's life after all! Truffles is no
