A Life Deserves Nine Cats

<p><em>A Life Deserves Nine Cats</em> is a collection of poems and drawings of cats by Sue Schindler and Ron Heard. Tough and tender. Vivid and well observed. Never sentimental. A book for cat lovers and for readers of poetry.</p><p>'If you have ever known or loved or mourned a cat these poems and portraits will insinuate themselves into your affections in a familiar way. The poems and artwork capture with grace agility and wit the mysterious wiles of cats and the charmed lives they lead with their human companions.' - Jena Woodhouse</p><p>'The first poem I ever published was titled I hate cats. So if I tell you I love this small collection of cat poems you may get an inkling of how fine it is. Funny insightful moving and subtly crafted these poems by Ron Heard are a pleasure to read for non-cat lovers: I imagine for cat lovers they might almost be Cat Heaven.' - Andrew Lansdown</p><p>'Sue Schindler's drawings are cats we immediately recognise: in the weight of a paw lying just so in a density of sleep and in a sudden acute awareness.' - Joanne Horniman</p><p><br></p>
