A Scottish Fold cat named Norton gives Peter Gethers the central character of his best-known comic memoirs. The Cat Who Went to Paris begins with a writer who does not consider himself a cat person and follows Norton into restaurants, hotels and journeys that become increasingly organised around the animal. A Cat Abroad continues through European travel, while The Cat Who’ll Live Forever turns more directly towards ageing, loss and the attachment built over years of companionship. Gethers’s prose is light, anecdotal and openly affectionate, with travel and human relationships woven around the pet rather than separated from him. The most useful neighbouring categories are cat memoir, humorous travel writing and human-animal relationship nonfiction. Read more Less
