<p>'Utterly charming, particularly so for cat-lovers, who might argue that every bit of magic here is absolutely true' <strong>Starred <em>Booklist</em> review</strong></p>
'Cat was everywhere at once, splayed in all directions but too soft to get in our way…'
Discover this captivating, inventive debut, perfect for fans of The Guest Cat and If Cats Disappeared from the World.
Every cat contains multitudes
When a young couple accidentally come into possession of a playful kitten, their daily routine (and cramped apartment) is turned upside down. Soon they find their peaceful existence forever altered.
Charting the couple’s ever-evolving relationship with cats – some they live with, others who exist only in their imagination – Invisible Kitties is a meditation on the quiet moments of everyday life and a celebration of cats in all their many magical, chaotic, extraordinary forms.
