The Unadulterated Cat

[Witch from Lancre]

I love it. Bought it when it first came out (in paperback-the hardback version came later) and it's so funny. At the time I had several cats and was trying to keep them in the back garden but they are escape artists so the thought of the electric shock appealed greatly.

You have to see a cat climb up 6 ft of privet that you have grown with a mesh fence in the middle buried a foot under the ground, walk across the top gloating at you and then go down gracefully into a neighbour's garden to know how bad they are. Fortunately she likes cats.

I've got the magazine as well. Gareth spotted it at the newsagent's and bought it for me.

I love the book. Just gave a copy to my boyfriend for his birthday a few weeks ago. He had never read Terry, but he loves cats, so I thought that's a good way to lure him in. He loved the book, and still keeps quoting stuff from it.

Resistance is useless.... You will be assimilated!

I am here because an economist friend loaned me his copy of Making Money. We are both waiting for what Moist von Lipwig does to the tax code. Whatever it is, Whitehall and 0bama will need to read it.

Well Terry is supposedly going to write a third Moist book called Raising Taxes - maybe he should get in contact with Obama and co.

I discovered some time back that this book was never published in the US

I have searched for this book online and have found 2 different covers - are they the same or different versions

[Tonyblack]

As far as I know there is just the one version - but with different covers. I mean the content of the books is the same. I've seen at least four different covers. It seems to be a book that gets released every so often with a new cover.

Have a look at all the reissues here on Colin Smythe's site (click on 'Other Works' and 'Unadulterated Cat'.)

Just managed to get my hands on a copy recently and as I have lived with cats for about 12 years, I can only applaud TP for his insights in how a real cat "works" (.. in the absence of a better word in my mind right now)

So I deem this book the best present ever for any cat owner in Your circle of friends and/or family. If You want to make even more of an impression, add a couple of Gilbert Shelton's comics about Fat Freddy's Cat to the present. Any owner of a "real cat" - a.k.a. a "real catowner" "pink blob" or "can opener" - will love you for it.

*moves into memory lane about Minka, who thought of putting half a rabbit besides my cushion (.. lower half, to be exact.. kinda godfatherous feeling for me.. luckily she weighed only about three pounds, so the neighbour's horse was out of reach for her ..) or sitting on my shoulder (.. while I slept on my side ..) and drooling purringly into my ear or holding my hand with her claws just barely not piercing my skin while giving her a belly-rub (.. and don't You DARE try to stop, pink blob ..) as signs of her affection*

Ah, the joys of being a catowner..
