Silke The Cat Graham Austin

CAT LOVERS! Bob Able is a best selling author and became fascinated by the wealth of adventures his friend, Graham Austin had enjoyed with his remarkable and much travelled cat Silke. The three decided to draw together Graham's notes and Silke's memories to produce a record of their experiences. Silke took the lead of course, (she goes everywhere on a lead; rarely, if ever, travelling in a cat basket, visiting hotels, high mountains, dark woods and to Countries including England, France and Spain) and the result is this lighthearted memoir, which is only partly a work of fiction. Here's what Silke says .... 'Ah human, I see you have decided to make the wise decision to look at my little book to understand a little about a cat and and learn about my adventures. Sensible choice, if I may say so ... and of course I may, because this is my story after all. If you read with due diligence and care you will gain an insight into, not just my thoughts, but those of Cat-kind and, as a bonus you will be able to enjoy my adventures as a well travelled cat as I journey across Europe with my doting human from my home in Spain. You are fortunate indeed to have stumbled upon this rather special book, human, because, although I say it myself, I am a quite exceptional cat and my adventures are bound to fascinate and amuse. For the paltry cover price (which if you haven't paid up yet, get on with it; my human needs funds for my treats and basic sustenance) a whole new entertaining and learning experience awaits you. So snap to it, pay up and dive in; and travel with me as we explore the world way beyond my territory and engage with humans, cats and even the occasional dog. My human, acting as chauffeur is assisted by his human author friend Bob Able, acting as scribe, and these two may also add an occasional comment herein as we go along. Although I have not read these bits myself ... why would I? ... they won't be as interesting as what I have to recount; but humans are like that and can't resist interfering. Nevertheless enjoy what follows and don't hesitate to send me treats whenever the fancy takes you'. Silke the Cat.
