      Acknowledgements

      Firstly, special thanks to my family, particularly to mum and dad who taught me through their ‘being’; love, compassion and kindness. To my husband, Alex, for his generosity of spirit and unswerving love. To my son, Matt, and daughter-in-law, Beckie, for being the great people they are and for shining a light on their special relationship with their cats, Annabelle and Phoebe. Also to Matt for his thoughts and guidance at the earlier stages of this book.

      My thanks to Geraldine Crawford for her informal editorial input; the feedback she provided was always clear and creative, laughter was shared and a friendship was deepened. My love and thanks also go to Sue Wilson for her belief in this book and her eye for detail in the early ‘proofreading’; this is a friendship deeply treasured. Thanks also to my dear friend, Jacquie Blakeley, who was an early supporter of this book. Her enthusiasm, humour and ongoing open-door policy to all things feline (and also other animals!) are always greatly valued. Each of you have enriched my life.

      Gratitude and love to my friends who enthusiastically sent photographs of their cats: Elaine Gordon with William G, Geraldine Crawford with Boo and Poussey, Ray Dennis with Tux, Jane McGill-Hoyland with William and Georgie, Julie Hammersley with Cookie, Kate Downing with
