Cats in May

By Doreen Tovey

Book Overview

One couple's love affair with their mischievous pets For cat lovers old and new - particularly those whose lives are ruled by feline fancy

Tovey's Siamese cats are back - and naughtier than ever...

Doreen and Charles Tovey attempt to settle down to a quiet life in the country. Unfortunately their tyrannical Siamese cats have other ideas...

From causing an uproar on the BBC to staying out all night and claiming to have been kidnapped, Sheba and Solomon's outrageous behaviour leaves the Toveys at their wits' end.

Meanwhile Doreen has to contend with her husband's disastrous skills as a handyman, and a runaway tortoise called Tarzan...

CATS IN MAY continues Doreen Tovey's memoirs about living with Siamese cats: set in the British countryside, it is told with wit, mischief, and above all humour.

Customer Reviews

Doreen Tovey and Siamese Highjinks!

Doreen Tovey's book Cats in May is a hilarious account of the misadventures of Doreen and husband Charles, their pet squirrel Blondin, and their Siamese cats. Do not miss this book if you love or have Siamese cats. Tovey is English and occasionally refers to people/things with which we Americans are not familiar, but not often. Her stories are extremely funny and her books are keepers.

Getting Even

Doreen Tovey is a woman who knows how to get her own back. A husband, squirrel and Siamese cats combined and separately wreck havoc in her life. With her books she unmasks the culprits and leaves the reader laughing out loud. Sometimes those readers even go get their own Siamese cats just to enjoy the fun for themselves. I will warn readers that Tovey is English and her books will contain references that leave US readers scratching their heads. She also uses the English language in the manner of writers such as Dorothy Sayers and P.G. Wodehouse. Again this might cause some puzzlement. A little puzzlement in order to get a lot of laughs is well worth it to some of us. For some of us Blondin, Salomon and Sheba become life long friends.
