‘I love them, they are so nice and selfish’ – L.M. Montgomery

Quotes include:
‘Time spent with a cat is never wasted’ – Colette
‘Those who play with cats must expect to get scratched’ – Miguel de Cervantes

‘As a lifelong cat fanatic and literature addict, this book couldn't be any more perfect for me if it tried.’ – Harper Ford

Paul Magrs brought out his first novel in 1995 when he was 25, which has been followed by many more. He has lectured in Creative Writing at UEA and MMU, and in 2019 he published his book on writing, The Novel Inside You. In lockdown, he started drawing cartoons and his first ‘picture’ book, The Panda, the Cat and the Dreadful Teddy, was a huge hit for Christmas 2021. Paul lives in Manchester with his partner Jeremy and a very large collection of books (many of them written by him).
