This illustrated gift book contains ten of James Herriot's stories about cats. Six of the stories come from Every Living Thing and include the tale of Ginny and Olly, the Woodshed Cats - and four come from the earlier James Herriot books. There is also the story of Buster, the kitten who arrived on Christmas Day, and Emily who lived with the gentleman up the road. There is humour with the story of Tristan Farnon trying to catch Mrs Bond's fierce cat Boris, and sadness with the story of the cat that James and Helen loved but had to give back to its original owner.
