Terry Pratchett and Gray Jolliffe – The Unadulterated Cat
This humorous little book from author Terry Pratchett and illustrator Gray Jolliffe is an entertaining insight into the world of our feline friends. Specifically, we’re talking about real cats – not those domesticated schmucks who just sit around all day.
Ostensibly a propaganda piece for the Campaign for Real Cats, the book explains, “The real unadulterated cat is under threat of extinction as more and more of us settle for the boring, mass-produced, purr-fect pussycats that appear in adverts – the fluffy cats that wear bows and eat from gold-plated bowls marked Kitty.”
All-in-all, it is a bit of a novelty book, but don’t let that detract from it – it’s still a fun little read, and it would make for a great gift for any cat lover. And the illustrations are fricken awesome, too – kudos to Gray Jolliffe, great job.
