More tales of warm, hilarious adventures of English village life—a must for cat lovers Life is never a bed of roses for the Toveys and their beloved Siamese cats Solomon and Sheba. For one thing they have Annabel the donkey to contend with and the thorny matter of her troublesome stomach after she overindulges on the apple harvest. More calamities ensue when Doreen and her husband Charles return from a riding course in the Scottish wilderness and Solomon thinks they have brought the Loch Ness Monster home with them. Then Sheba baffles her owners with a series of mysterious disappearances. What with Annabel adopting a cat of her own, Charles taking up the piano, Father Adams' flying hat, and Solomon's determined efforts to catch a hare, there are endless adventures in store in this loveable, witty classic.

This is an account of life in the author's household which is dominated by Siamese cats. Tovey believes the longer one keeps Siamese cats the battier one gets. After the death of her husband, Doreen Tovey's West Country cottage seemed empty, with only herself and Saska, and so she bought Shantung. Following Saska's untimely death she aquired Saphra, who provides evidence to support Tovey's theory that cats are becoming more intelligent, no matter how many crazy things they do.

Tells the story of the author's life with her husband Charles in a West Country village, where they are driven to distraction by Siamese cats, Annabel the donkey, nesting swallows, bucking horses, and the villagers who still regard them as inept townsfolk, even after 18 years.

The behaviour of a Siamese cat is never predictable, as all owners well know. The calm of the Tovey household is once again torn to shreds when Doreen's cat Seeley instantly loathes the new arrival, Shebalu, and she - all five inches of her - loathes him back. And then, even worse, they become firm friends, and team up to create havoc.

The Toveys are no strangers to disaster, particularly the Siamese-related kind, but when their beloved Solomon dies unexpectedly, they're faced with a completely new type of problem - do they find another cat to replace the one they've lost?

Product Description: After many years of keeping Siamese cats in a remote cottage in Somerset, Doreen Tovey has come to the conclusion that the breed grows more delinquent by the generation. People who remember her first best-selling book CATS IN THE BELFRY will probably find this diffucult to believe, but her fourteenth book CATS IN CONCORD more than underlines the theory...read more
