Description
'The wonderful thing about having a relationship with a cat is that it can bring you to something truly extraordinary and life-changing'
There comes a time in every cat's life when his schedule slows down, and he struggles with aches and pains. Peter has been inseparable from his Scottish Fold cat Norton for fourteen years, and now he has to learn how to deal with death and grief.
But Norton has taught Peter much more than this. How to live life on your own terms, and how to appreciate and savour the joyful times that come along while we're here on earth.
Forever Norton is a deeply moving and life-affirming tribute to a humble little animal, who understood the meaning of true friendship.
