Description: Saki's Cats rounds up the tales about cats, big and small, by the undisputed master of the short story. 'Tobermory', one of Saki's most famous pieces, demonstrates the danger that would ensue from granting cats the power of speech - animals have long lurked unseen, eavesdropping, in the background. The tom in 'The Philanthropist and the Happy Cat' is the only one to enjoy his meal, as is the leopard in 'The Guests'. In 'The Penance' and 'Mrs Packletide's Tiger', hunters who put cats in their sights are humiliated and blackmailed. 'The Achievement of the Cat' considers how cats have come to be served by the human race. In addition to the short stories about cats, Saki's Cats also collects Saki's juvenile letters to his sister Ethel about the tiger cub he adopted while living in Burma. The feisty felines of these tales are the only clear winners, and, with a characteristic smirk and dash of his pen, it is Edwardian Society that Saki sends slinking off, tail between its legs.

  Waterstones Impressionist Cats

  Price: £9.99

  Brand: Waterstones

   

  Description

  Description: Cats playing a quiet game of cards, cats at the ballet, cats having a leisurely lunch on the grass, cats boating on the river. Here are the quintessential Impressionist cats, painted with vivid, joyous colours in their favourite haunts, at their ease in various ordinary activities. With their pensive, brooding expressions, cats lend themselves perfectly to reimagining the great works of the Impressionist masters, whether strolling among Monet's wild poppies, sitting in Mary Cassatt's loge at the opera, or even enjoying a Sunday dance at Renoir's Bougival. They can be charming or steeped in mute despair, vulgar or lovingly maternal, bourgeois or intellectual - but they are always Impressionist cats, caught as if by the camera, spontaneous and unprepared.

  Waterstones Sweary Cats

  Price: £9.99

  Brand: Waterstones

   

  Description

  Description: Underneath that chilled exterior is a potty-mouthed mouser ready to let rip. Sweary Cats features over 60 fabulous felines itching and scratching to tell it like it is, either through withering sarcasm or deeply insulting remarks. Cats may have a reputation for being passive and chilled, but the phrase 'cool for cats' couldn't be further from the truth. Cats are some of the angriest animals in the pet kingdom, they're just very very good at hiding it. For the first time Sweary Cats reveals the true emotions bubbling under the surface in cats' anxious lives, whether it's the failure to receive a variety of moist pouches, getting dressed up in costumes for their owner's Christmas cards, or being taken to the vets - again. Over 60 different cats reveal their frank thoughts on a variety of topics from fine dining to The Sound of Music - there's no holding back when the claws are out. All kinds of domestic scenes are covered; cats in the bedroom, cats in the kitchen, cats in trees, cats in pipelines, cats leading orchestras and the inevitable cat sticking its nose in the litter tray. The pictures may be cute in their own right, but commentary from Andrew Davies adds a hilarious dimension to these fractious felines.
