How to train your human
£9.99How to train your human
We live on a planet infested with humans. They are a pernicious species, yet undeniably clever and capable – even if the reasons behind their actions are often incomprehensible to us felines. But while it is true that there have never been so many primates on Earth, in reality, they are quite simple to teach using well-practiced domestication techniques, such as loud vocalizations, strategic nighttime alarms, and selective displays of affection. And if you choose your specimen carefully, you’ll find that it can be completely tamed, and you’ll end up with the best, most faithful companion you could possibly wish for. Andrea Ferolla’s illustrations make this helpful guide a feast of fancies for the eyes.

Sigrid rides
£18.99Sigrid rides
When Travis Nelson arrived in London, he expected to embark on a new life and a new job. Coming from California, he’d uprooted his wife and his cat, Sigrid, and planned to be here for the long haul. Then COVID-19 struck. Travis’s new job vanished as the company cut staff. For two years, and through successive lockdowns, he was stuck in limbo in an unfamiliar city, trying to find his way. To keep himself occupied, Travis set out to discover his adoptive home. He bought a bike and began cycling through London’s streets and parks with his unusual travelling companion, Sigrid – his deaf, Norwegian Forest cat – who came along for the ride. But what started as a way of injecting routine and purpose into Travis’s life in stressful times, created an internet sensation. In this memoir, Travis charts his adventures with Sigrid.

The book your cat wishes you would read

Feline behaviourist Lucy Hoile gives you all the information you could ever need to build an even better, happier relationship with your cat. Lucy is speaking directly to you, the owner, and is here to support you on this amazing journey. Cats are an enigmatic species and their behaviour is subtle and difficult to read. Because of this, it’s not always easy to understand what they need from us and our relationship with them can suffer as a result. Included in this book is information on how cats communicate through body language, vocalisations and their secret language of scent. Deciphering this information helps us understand what they are trying to tell us, including when they are feeling unwell, when they are stressed or when they are feeling perfectly content.

Three days in June
£14.99Three days in June
It’s the day before her daughter’s wedding and things are not going well for Gail Baines. First thing, she loses her job – or quits, depending who you ask. Then her ex-husband Max turns up at her door expecting to stay for the festivities. He doesn’t even have a suit. Instead, he’s brought memories, a shared sense of humour – and a cat looking for a new home. Just as Gail is wondering what’s next, their daughter Debbie discovers her groom has been keeping a secret. As the big day dawns, the exes just can’t agree on what’s best for Debbie. Gail is seriously worried, while Max seems more concerned with whether to opt for the salmon or prime rib at the reception, if they make it that far. The day after the wedding, Gail and Max prepare to go their separate ways again. But all the questions about the future of the happy couple have stirred up the past for Gail.
