A Coven of Cats tells the true story of the author's longstanding love affair with cats. It begins with her experiences of growing up with cats, from the age of four, and continues with the narrative of her ongoing relationship with felines, culminating in her (and her husband's) love affairs with Burmese: animals that combine the best (and worst) features of cats, dogs and monkeys! The book is full of humour, high drama and the tragedy of loss. The central characters are the cats but the story revolves around the intimate relationship between cats and their human staff. A Coven of Cats demonstrates how enriching it can be for humans to share life's ups and downs with these animals. Far from the aloofness sometimes ascribed to felines, this book shows how loving, exciting and rewarding life with cats can be.
