Corresponding Cats (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Tigress Aurora was born in the wild and now lives in a zoo. She hates it. Shadow, a domestic cat, is stuck at home while her injured leg heals. In their correspondence, the cats reflect on their loss of freedom and exchange views on the human race.

As Corresponding Cats is set in summer 2020, our feline captives note with some irony how humans are coping with Covid and their own lockdown. Aurora also recalls life as a cub in the wild, being caught, and her journey via various sanctuaries to her current place of imprisonment. Shadow explains many aspects of today's world to Aurora, much of which she has learned from watching TV with her human companion, Guy.

When Shadow grapples with the arrival of Liz, Guy's new girlfriend, it's Aurora's turn to offer wisdom and support. Aurora also has her own potential love interest to deal with, and the prospect of having cubs in captivity.

As they face these different challenges, Aurora and Shadow's observations are both thought provoking and entertaining.

Corresponding Cats is just under 10,000 words.

Autorenporträt

Allison writes both fiction and non-fiction. Her works include poems, articles, short stories and full-length pieces. Her debut novel is on its way.

Much of Allison's work is social commentary. Having politically active parents formed the basis of her memoir Right to the End and sparked her interest in current affairs. Allison's writing often features the environment and conservation, animal welfare, caring for the elderly and controversies around food and health. She likes to draw attention to these serious subjects, often lightened with touches of humour.

Allison lives in Teddington with her two young cats, Muswell and Alfie. When not writing, she loves travelling to far-off places, especially if it involves photographing wildlife.
