Fudge - A Short Tail of Tooth and Claw | Austin Macauley Publishers

The Romans called him ‘domum cattus’; we call him, ‘the house cat.’ As part of his ‘No-Sense’ series, author Robyn Smythe asks you these questions: Have you ever wondered what is going on in the devious mind of your feline companion? What they do when you are not in the house with them? Do they just eat, sleep and go to the litter tray?

Well, from the mind of the author who brought you The Animal Tea Party, comes a comic insight into the world of the domestic house cat, featuring instances witnessed by the author himself during many years of observing his own feline friend.

Follow Fudge from the moment he is chosen and taken home, through his early years of navigating his new home, or kingdom as he refers to it, as he tirelessly tries to train his human servants to wait on him hand and paw – sorry, foot. A perilous visit to the vets where he leaves something behind and his fun and games with seagulls. Funny and thought-provoking, join us as we delve into the feline mind. Are you the master or the servant?
