The Coach House Cats
 |
As The Coach House Cats
opens it is evident that the time has come to have Pushkin, the Russian
Blue tom, and Titus, the ginger moggy queen, neutered. This was indeed
the plan for Fannie, the tortoiseshell, but with her longed-for
pregnancy well under way it must now be postponed. Fannie’s due date for
her kittens arrives and, in the time honoured tradition of cats and the
best laid plans, unexpected problems arise.
Following this drama,
the household finds itself in turmoil again with the arrival of a black
Bengal kitten, called Gilly, who massively disrupts the peace of both
cats and people resident in The Coach House and sends Fannie in
particular spiralling into despair.
With a fine eye
and ear for the world of natural history, Marilyn Edwards is able to
write about bird and plant life, and indeed farming and village life in
general, with both charm and passion. But as always, it is her
observation of cats and their ways that make her books so utterly
magical. |

The Coach House Cats
is the fourth and final book in this best selling series.
In 2003,
The Cats of Moon Cottage
introduced us to the lives of Septi and Otto.
More Cat Tales from Moon
Cottage
(2004) saw the birth of kittens Beetle, Fannie and Titus and the arrival of the
exotic usurper Pushkin. The third book The Cats on Hutton Roof
(2005) involved change as the inhabitants of Moon Cottage began their move from
Hertfordshire to Cumbria and as all
cat-lovers know, cats hate
change!
