"A sweet, moving and heartfelt memoir from a companion, philosopher and cool cat."-- Carole Matthews
"It's warm, and funny, and sad, and human. It's full of such tiny details, set in such a small area, and yet those details and that smallness are what make it so profound because it's a book about big, enormous, messy love. I cried at the beginning, and at the end, and in the middle I laughed and soaked it all up."-- Julie Cohen
"What emerges from Fester's account of his adoption of a pair of humans, is a portrait of an enduring relationship, a writing life, of estrangement and love, and the accommodation of damage done. Intimate, moving and with a real lightness of touch, this book's (and this cat's) sense of time - passing, past, and still to come - feels at once hopeful and nostalgic." -- Jo Baker, author of Longbourn.
