A is for the Agile cat, capable of leaping four times her height to retrieve the chicken chew she left on top of the cupboard yesterday...well, after her 7-hour nap that is. C is for the Critical cat, who regularly leaves constructive "reviews" of less-than-satisfactory meals on the hall carpet. G is for the Grateful cat, who appreciates the new state-of-the-art cat bed but prefers the packaging. H is for the Helpful cat who likes to polish the keyboard with his tail while you are racing to meet your deadline. P is for the Punctual cat who, without fail, jumps on his sleeping owner's face at 5am each morning to ensure she doesn't miss breakfast.

Cat-lovers will laugh their way knowingly through this delightful alphabet of their furry friends' weird and wonderful ways.
