Truffles Diary: One Year on

Seventeen-year-old upper-class tabby cat, Truffles, is now one year older and one year wiser since she last allowed us to peek into one week of her private diary. As observant as ever, which is very surprising considering that her policy is to sleep 22 hours a day, she is keen to share more amusing anecdotes about her life as an employer of human caretakers. Reminiscing about her past feline and canine friends, Truffles once again flies the banner of superiority of the feline species over her canine and human counterparts, scoffing at the inferior intelligence and disgusting habits of the former as well as at the valuable eating and sleeping time that the latter expend on seemingly futile and thankless tasks. As always, Truffles ensures that her human caretakers give her due deference at all times and perform their duties to the highest standard, proving yet again that the cat always gets the cream - a fact that politician Ann Widdecombe, who has kindly written a fitting foreword for this book, knows only too well, having been expertly trained by her own tubby tabby, Arbuthnot.
