Community Cat Chronicles

The Community Cat Chronicles is a collection of linked stories about the cats, not quite house pets and certainly not strays, who live around the apartment blocks of Avenue 1. They mark and defend their territory, but share it with the human residents who devote time and resources to keeping them fed and healthy. A tender, heart-warming portrait of a neighbourhood shared by cats and humans, The Community Cat Chronicles is filled with rich storytelling and vividly drawn characters, and is sure to be beloved by animal lovers everywhere.
