Description
Wild? These Cats are Furious! is a true account of former Cats Protection volunteer Heather Cook's introduction to the shadowy world of wild, or feral, cats and her continuing fascination with these brave and beautiful creatures. Ferals are not a distinct species and may look exactly the same as Fluffy or Grand Champion Wandering Whimsy, but a true feral would make a Tasmanian Devil look cuddly. There are phoney ferals, of course, and this book exposes these pretenders for the lightweights they are - along with cats like Heather's own little Evie, who is sometimes feral and sometimes not, depending on the weather or what she had for breakfast... Wild? These Cats are Furious! is primarily a tribute to the cats from the wrong side of the tracks; cats who have survived by living on their wits and being sensible enough to make the best of a stale sandwich if it was the only thing on offer; cats who have defended their half-starved kittens from marauding foxes, rats and the odd human scumbag who thinks throwing missiles at terrified animals rounds off a good night out.

Heather Cook fostered and found homes for stray and unwanted cats for Cats Protection for nearly thirty years. She has previously published five cat books with Matador: Evie's Diary (2012), Paws for Thought (2013), From Sidcup with Purrs (2014), The Old, the Mad and the Wobbly (2015) and A Cuddle of Cats (2016). She still has what many people would deem a ridiculous number of cats, including two 'wildies'.
