Cat Life is the big, new reading book featuring 26 enchanting stories from around the world, which have either been translated for the first time or specially written for this volume. Alongside American Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck and French bestselling author Françoise Sagan, the undisputed queen of cats, Elke Heidenreich, contributes a hilarious story about a visit to the veterinarian. Everywhere in the world, cats wrap humans around their paws – whether they are choosing a new home, tormenting their humans with jealousy, gathering for a tea party, or unsheathing their sharp claws in a Danish intrigue – and they are loved and celebrated for their purriness. Authors from across Europe, as well as from Brazil, Mexico, Japan, and China, can be discovered as cat enthusiasts. They recount charming and amusing, quirky and incredible events.
