how does it rate alongside Deric Longden's cat books?

No idea, I've never read his stuff!

I've never met a cat lover yet who hasn't loved Deric Longden's books - he wrote a column for 'Your Cat' for years

Despite my best intentions, I couldn't resist putting a reservation on this.  Both the paperback copies were on loan and not due back for a few weeks so I wasn't counting on getting it just yet.  But it came yesterday so I collected it today  ;D

I have seen it in shops but not had a close look at it.  We have it in the library but as I have a moratorium on the borrowing of library books at the moment  ;) I have written it down in my notebook for future reference  ;D
