A Cat Called Dog 2: The one with the kittens by Jem VanstonJem Vanston‘s book ‘A Cat Called Dog 2: The One With The Kittens’ is a romp of a read, with all the cast from his first book: ‘A Cat Called Dog’, namely, George, the elderly ginger cat, Dog, the kitten-cat, one-eyed Cockney stray, Eric, the widely travelled Francois and the elegant, Miss Fifi.  Joining them for a fast-paced adventure, are Daisy, Maisie and Boo, three little black and white kittens who are searching for their mother.  George, Eric and Dog try to help the kittens find their mother and along the way meet up with Christopher, the singing and dancing cat and Doris, both of whom work for a film studio to make adverts. They also meet up with Hettie – who is not what she seems – who says she is able to help the kittens find their mother.

There are lots of weird and wonderful adventures along the way and Dog, who has been entrusted with the task of finding the kittens’ mother by George who has to return home, has to think on his paws to get them out of some very serious scrapes.

Children of all ages – including adults – will like this book.  Published by Austin Macauley in paperback back in September 2017, it is also available on Kindle at www.amazon.co.uk; www.amazon.com; and www.waterstones.com.  The ISBN number is: 978-1-7862933-8-1.

The Very Best Toy for Cats

"Of all the [cat] toys available, none is better designed than the owner himself. A large multipurpose plaything, its parts can be made to move in almost any direction. It comes completely assembled, and it makes a noise when you jump on it."
