The Catventures of Sparky and George
By Alan Windram, Illustrated by Giulia Cregut
Everybody says it is a dog’s life, but Sparky and George both knew that was just rubbish. Dogs were soooo silly, always running around after their humans, doing what they were told, chasing things, and BRINGING THEM BACK! Why on earth would you want to do that?
Whereas being a cat was the absolute very best.
Tasty treats, lots of nap’s AND the whole wide world was just waiting to be explored on the other side of the cat flap.
Full of adventure, ingenuous inventions, new friends, and some scary encounters, join Sparky and George as they take their first steps on an adventure that will change their lives forever.
Alan shares this exuberantly funny story of the imagined adventures of his two cats, Sparky and George, as they journey out through the cat flap and into the big bad world.
