CAT ETUDES (An Anthology of Rescued and Companion Cats)

Whilst running a boarding cattery in Bedfordshire since 1987, Jenny Fensom has owned twelve cats of her own, only one of which was chosen by herself: all the others were old or middle-aged rescues, either dumped at the local vet's or strays. Each one has a different story behind it, and in Cat Etudes Jenny relates how they all came to live with her and Anthony, her brother, and played an important role in family life. Odd coincidences surrounded four of them, linking them to Jenny's and Anthony's late father and past family and friends.

For every copy of Cat Etudes sold, £1 will go to Jenny's favourite charity, Animals Asia Appeal, to save dogs and cats from the meat trade in China. (For further information and a book order form, visit Jenny's website: www.jenny-fensom.co.uk)
