Hi everyone,
Today we are looking at the book Tigger: Memoirs of a Cosmopolitan Cat by Susanne Haywood. The paperback version of the book will be released tomorrow (28th of Jan 2015) and to celebrate this the ebook will be on Sale for 5 days from this day!
The author did an amazing job at writing out of the perspective of Tigger as the true story of his adventures across the globe get unveiled. His journey starts of in Western Australia before he has to follow his family on a long long journey to the USA!
But that is only the start of the journey! His family moves to a few more places across the journey and us readers get to experience it through the eyes of Tigger a smart ginger tomcat as he conquers challenges and grows wiser and older with each step.
Over-all verdict?
We loved the book! There are not many authors that are as empathic as Susanne and manage to have such a strong bond with their cat companion that they can produce a truly convincing view from their companions perspective. And this style of writing is exactly what enthralls us cat lovers / owners as we are able to relate to our own companions and their adventures, at times it feels like she must have been crawling along the floor with her companion to be able to really capture the cat point of view. You will not want to put the book down until you are done. 😉

More about the author:
Susanne Haywood grew up in Austria, married an Englishman and spent most of her married life in Australia and in the United States before settling in Southern England, which makes her as cosmopolitan as her cat Tigger, who accompanied the family on all their travels. After a career as teacher, university lecturer and higher education manager she now devotes her time to writing. Having won some recognition in Australia for her short stories, she embarked upon the memoirs of Tigger, the world-travelling cat. An Australian story and a World War II biographical novel are also in the pipeline. Susanne has three children and lives with her husband, a fluctuating number of their young people and an assortment of animals in West Sussex, England.

Oh thank you!!! I keep forgetting about Barnes and Nobles 😡
And added in the body! Thanks again 🙂
Barnes and Noble doesn’t sell (at least not for Nook) outside the US so no reason for you to think of them.
One of my favorite books is actually a series of adventures written by Peter Gethers about the real adventures he had with his cat….it starts with “The Cat Who Went to Paris”. It from more than a few years ago but they had quite the adventures. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves cats.
Oh! Would you maybe like to do a guest post about the series :)?
It looks like a great book. I need to get that.
I’m only a page and a half into the Nook free sample and I’m clicking the “buy” button.
Thanks, Marc….it’s all your fault.
Haha! I know i keep making people buy books xD
Too bad you don’t get commission….or do you? 😉
Haha. I wish I did! But no I just love reading books and got a whole stack of ones I need to finish on my desk 🙂
Thanks for the recommendation! I had a Tigger too and he looked almost identical.
