Fur Babies

Description

This is the ideal book for anyone who adores their cat, or as Liz Jones calls these small, demanding, understanding creatures, their 'fur baby'. "Fur Babies" captures something of the love and solace that Liz's own pussycats - Snoopy, Squeaky, Susie, Sweetie and now new baby Leonardo - have given her over the past 15 years. Funny, irreverent, quirky and eccentric, Liz chronicles her love affair with cats. She describes her personal relationship with her own cats - why she loves them so much, their different personalities, habits, likes and dislikes and also injects anecdotes from cat lovers she has met along the way. The book also includes essays, poems, homages, drawings and photographs that well-known people - including Ricky Gervais, Tracey Emin, Catherine Tate and Jilly Cooper - have donated to Liz for the book.

Liz Jones began her career in journalism on Company magazine, before joining The Sunday Times, where she worked for 11 years. She became editor of Marie Claire in 1999, then worked as the features editor and chief interviewer of the London Evening Standard for four years. Her column about being single first appeared in The Sunday Times in 2000, and was followed by columns in The Guardian and The Mail on Sunday's You magazine. Her best-selling book about her relationships, Liz Jones's Diary, was published by Quadrille in September 2005. Liz, who is also Fashion Editor of The Daily Mail, lives in Islington with her five (now quite famous) cats.
