I am Kitten. Watch me play! They call me Kitten. I’m their plaything, and I love it. I thrive on it. I need it. Why? It’s like an itch I can’t quite scratch. A craving that doesn’t take away the hunger. A compulsion that I can’t control. It’s all-consuming in every way. I thought I’d come to terms with how my future looked. Meaningless sex. Lots and lots of meaningless sex. Bodies writhing, skin slapping, moans filling the air. It’s who I am, and I don’t allow myself to think too much about how I’ll never have a normal relationship. I’ll never be able to commit 100% to one person. When a ghost from my past sends me spiralling, any sort of control over my ailment is lost, and I find myself walking the dark path of self-destruction. No one knows the depravity of my past. If they did, they wouldn’t want anything to do with me. As I try to rein in my demons, I find myself in a compromising position that reveals one of my secrets to the Casanova of my school. If that isn’t bad enough, my ex has his sights set on me again, a playful friend steps over the line with me, and another brooding mate is seething with anger at me. Rightfully so, since all four of them are best mates, and shit is going to hit the fan if my ex finds out what’s been going on behind his back. Throw in a sex club run by predators posing as high-class citizens, a contract that I signed when I was way too young to understand the fine print, and a man who is fifteen years older than me, which has me bratting it up all over the place, and my existence is on a path to fuckery. How the hell do I get myself in these situations? And how in the hell am I going to get myself out this time? CONTENT WARNING I’m Rhys George. Welcome to my dark and depraved world.

Discover the nationally bestselling, true story of a life-changing friendship between a man and his rescue cat, Nala, as they adventure together on a bike journey around the world -- from the Instagram phenomenon @1bike1world. When 30-year-old Dean Nicholson set off from Scotland to cycle around the world, his aim was to learn as much as he could about our troubled planet. But he hadn't bargained on the lessons he'd learn from his unlikely companion. Three months after leaving home, on a remote road in the mountains between Montenegro and Bosnia, he came across an abandoned kitten. Something about the piercing eyes and plaintive meowing of the bedraggled little cat proved irresistible. He couldn't leave her to her fate, so he put her on his bike and then, with the help of local vets, nursed her back to health. Soon on his travels with the cat he named Nala, they forged an unbreakable bond -- both curious, independent, resilient and adventurous. The video of how they met has had 20 million views and their Instagram has grown to almost 750k followers -- and still counting! Experiencing the kindness of strangers, visiting refugee camps, rescuing animals through Europe and Asia, Dean and Nala have already learned that the unexpected can be pretty amazing. Together with Garry Jenkins, writer with James Bowen of the bestselling A Street Cat Named Bob, Dean shares the extraordinary tale of his and Nala's inspiring and heart-warming adventure together.

They say that when a cat enters your life, you never know quite what to expect. Certainly nobody ever expected M's cat, Smith Kitten, to be literate... AND able to type! But that's exactly what Smith did. Over the course of her life (and even beyond!), Smith Kitten wrote letters to M's nephew, David, who saved most of them. Those letters, in addition to other letters saved by M, are the basis for this book. Smith provides a cat's-eye view of life with M, including stories of the Great Roaring Monster who lives in the hall closet, the Going-to-Bed Routine (in which one must jump on all squares of the quilt to ensure there are no Evil Spirits lurking within) and proper placement of the hairball, as well as d-o-g-s and other beasts.

It offers straightforward solutions to the problems that cause people to give up their cats, many of which are preventable, including litter box avoidance, furniture scratching, and physical ailments. There are more than 90 million American households that count cats as family members, but they are a vastly underserved population, devoted to their kitties, yet bereft of all the public attention, programming, and print devoted to dogs. Now, bestselling author and investigative journalist Tracie Hotchner offers them The Cat Bible, with straightforward, fact-filled solutions to health and behavior problems, based on years of research into the real reasons behind these issues. In the same warm, straightforward style that attracts devoted listeners to her radio shows, Tracie tackles controversial topics such as the truth about commercial dry pet foods and their dangers, bringing readers the latest facts on every topic that affects a feline?s well-being.

From a leading veterinary psychiatrist, a groundbreaking exploration into the minds of our feline companions and “a guide to being the best humans we can be for our cats” (Focus Vif). Cats are mysterious creatures, and the relationship between humans and cats has never been simple. Curious and affectionate, independent and uninterested, predator and prey. Their true nature continues to elude us, and their subtle and complex behavioral problems can often seem unsolvable or incomprehensible. So, how can we tell if a cat is suffering? What are the root causes of feline aggression? And how can we treat patients who can’t speak for themselves? In this fascinating book—already a bestseller in its native France—veterinary doctor and psychiatrist Claude Béata draws on cutting-edge research and decades of experience to revolutionize our understanding of cats and transform our appreciation of feline mental wellbeing. Here, we meet Nougatine, a Siamese suffering from bipolar dysthymic disorder, Tabatha, an anxious Ragdoll with attachment issues, and Melly, an Abyssinian struggling with a feline form of schizophrenia—as well as their owners who seek advice and support. Charming, surprising, and offering illuminating insight into a range of disorders, Béata’s book calls for greater compassion and provides a new way of understanding cat behavior so we can care for the mental, and physical wellness of our beloved furry friends.
