Summary (Amazon): After three years of living under the same roof as the dog in the house, Katrina von Cat the Master of Wisdom and Knowledge decides to write a letter to her canine housemate, Stanley. Katrina loves treats, naps and bossing the dog around. Stanley loves snow, attention and turkey. The diva kitty, Katrina, will have none of Stanley’s antics and most certainly will not stand for him eating her food. The only reasonable solution is to take him to Kitty Court.

My Review
“The story is wittily told through the exchange of letters with occasional interruptions from a narrator, whose role is then usurped by a neighbouring bluebird, a guinea pig and even Stanley and Katrina themselves. The characterisation is first class, most of the writing is excellent, with believable narrative and situations at once instantly recognisable and refreshingly new. The author has a knack of showing the mundane through a fresh pair of eyes, making the reader delight in a different perspective on familiar themes – like the Christmas tree and playing in snow.”
