Truffles, the celebrity tabby cat of mature years (it would be far too
impolite to state her exact age here), puts pen to paper once again to
share her unique and delightfully amusing observations of the human
world around her, this time embarking on a totally new adventure on the
ocean waves, finding her sea paws as she sets sail on a luxury (as
befits a superior and sophisticated feline) ship with cruise aficionado
Sheila, her long-term carer and provider of every possible need. New
sights, sounds, smells, tastes and experiences face Truffles at every
turn, from the tiresome car journey and undignified customs procedures
to the mystifying and sometimes frightening onboard facilities and
activities. Allowed to leave her stateroom to peruse all the non-eating
areas - on a lead with matching collar, of course, and wearing a
purrfectly preened catsuit - Truffles revels in being the centre of
attention, maintaining an outward air of decorum at all times, even when
her nine lives are tested to the core. A fantastic insight into the mind
of a cat and the puzzles and mysteries created by events and practices
that we all take for granted without question, and also a tantalising
taster for those humans that haven't yet been tempted by the cruising
lifestyle. One thing's for sure: Truffles can highly recommend it (oh,
and Sheila, too)!
