Francesco, the Tomcat of the Pope

A charming, lovingly illustrated gift book which provides - from the perspective of a tomcat - an extraordinary view behind the thick walls of the holy Vatican.

This is the story of Francesco, also known as Franzl, the Pope's secret tomcat, that conquers - with Bavarian stubbornness and an unrivaled charming personality - the hearts of highranking clergymen full of reserve. At first, however, he has to survive wild tomcat fights with the cat mafia, brawls to win the favor of purring feline beauties, problems with Swiss guardsmen and the strict protocol of the Vatican to be eventually close to his "Papa" and to get spoilt and pempered by him.

 

• Not only for cat-addicts
