Confessions of a Cat-Hater

He had a system for everything. The cat was not in the system.

by S. A. Carmody · Audiobook narrated by Matt Jopling · 13 hrs 52 mins

When a black cat with amber eyes appears outside his door one evening, Francis calls the building's emergency number, attempts a ham-based bribe, and opens the relevant Facebook group. By 7 p.m., he has accepted defeat and made the acquaintance of Hannibal, a rescue cat with anxiety and a superiority complex.

For readers of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, A Man Called Ove and The Rosie Project

This touching, hilarious send-up … reveals, with patience and sincerity, how cat ownership can heal.

AMAZON REVIEWER

★★★★★

A page-turner from start to finish. Francis starts off as a character, with whom you get annoyed with, then feel sorry for, then admire.

Imagine Sheldon Cooper was British. He lived alone in a perfectly clean apartment. And a cat chose him.
