CHATTY CAT: SPRING INTO SUMMER.

CHATTY CAT: SPRING INTO SUMMER by SUZAN COLLINS.

BACK COVER BLURB: One woman. One cat. Two very different ways of thinking.

The second in the Chatty Cat series follows Chatty Cat through spring and summer in her new home as she gradually learns to relax and enjoy her surroundings.

"The sun has warmed up the ground and now the sun is shining on my tummy and making it nice and warm. It's all quiet in the garden and I fall asleep. I am dreaming ..."

Life still holds a few surprises for Chatty, with new friends and new experiences. Chatty Cat is a real rescue cat in a real home and her adventures provide a useful guide to caring for your pet.

It's not just a manual - but it will help you look after your cat. It's not just a story - but you can read it like one. It's not just a children's book - but children of all ages will love it, and so will adults.

Suzan Collins has a real knack for getting into Chatty Cat's head and explaining her behaviour in ways that everyone can recognise.

SOURCE: A complimentary copy acknowledging my reading the manuscript pre-publication. Whilst I know the author through our blogs and via FaceBook this had no bearing on my review or opinions which as always remain mine and mine alone.

FIRST SENTENCE {Getting Comfortable}:
When I first moved in Jade used to use up most of the bed and there wasn't room for me.

MEMORABLE MOMENT {Page 74}: My paws slide on the laminate flooring. I meow. 'Wheeeeeeee' as I slide along the floor. What great fun! Then I go upstairs and snooze on the bed.

MY THOUGHTS: The perfect read for those considering allowing a cat into their lives. With its mix of anecdotes chronicling the daily activities of the talkative rescue cat and her 'hooman' Jade (aka Suzan), useful information on the caring of a cat, illustrations, actual photographs and video footage Chatty Cat: Spring Into Summer along with its predecessor Chatty Cat: The First Six Months is as entertaining as it is educational.

Wonderfully insightful with regards to all things feline. This second instalment deals especially well with communication. Communication, 'verbal' and non-verbal. Communication between Chatty Cat and Jade and Chatty Cat and the critters she encounters (other cats, a butterfly and a wasp included) as she 'trains her hooman', discovers 'the collar tree' and finds herself in a fix in the 'herring cupboard'.
