On Velvet Paws - Walking Back to Happiness

Amusing and endearing, this book is bound to touch the hearts of all cat lovers.

Pampered tomcat Minkus finds himself stowed away in a removals van heading for Lisbon. It is the start of an odyssey full of ups and downs for the velvet-pawed family pet. Far away from home, adventure follows adventure, including meeting the love of his life, before he returns to his existence as feline playboy in a Hamburg villa. But he has hardly settled back into his accustomed luxurious lifestyle when he is chased out of the house by a barking hunting dog, and ends up stranded in an allotment! Minkus has to weather many a storm in his vagabond life before he manages to find his way back home into the lap of his beloved owner, Julia.
