Cat Tales: The Meaning Of Cats In Women's Lives
Jan Fook, Renate Klein, Susan Hawthorne (eds.)

A sister volume to the internationally successful A Girl's Best Friend, this book explores the relationships between women and their cats- or more aptly, cats and their women.

There are cats of all colours and sizes - from the city, the farm, the bush; cats who can open fridges, sign contracts, and cats-in-drag. They get stuck in strange places and survive amazing ordeals. Some disappear only to return mysteriously; others live on as most treasured memories. They entertain, amuse, frustrate and delight us; they tug at our hearts and offer insight into our lives.

Cat Tales: The Meaning Of Cats In Women's Lives is a delightful collection of writing from women and girls all around the world, accompanied by beautiful photographs of their feline friends.

‘I have bought it for a loved one. Greater endorsement hath no man.’

Stephen Downes, The Canberra Times

‘Any cat-loving woman will adore this collection of photographs and stories about women and their beloved cats.  Through their cats, we learn about the women, some saved from loneliness and depression, others heartened and comforted by these miraculous animals.’ 

Readings Summer Reading Guide

Cat Tales is delightful.  It is funny, poignant, thoughtful and sad - and is a very good book to own. I would recommend this book for all cat lovers (and maybe even the feline-phobic among us).’
