The Hairy Tails of a Cat Sitter

by C H Hemington

Acknowledgements

  I wouldn’t have been able to write this book without the encouragement of my husband Iain. Thank you for putting up with my obsession with all things feline; for supporting me through years of meagre cat-related earnings and for not making a fuss when my cat work meant me spending weekends and bank holidays in their company, instead of yours. I’m also thankful to my own two furry boys, Billy and Jimmy, for both insisting on sitting on my lap whilst I wrote, always using one of my hands as a pillow, and ensuring that the book took much longer to write than it would have otherwise.

  ‘The Hairy Tails’ has been brought to life by the wonderful illustrations created by my sister Debbie Dawson. I’ll be forever in your debt, Debs. Had it not been for the attention to detail, wise insights and honesty of Phil ‘The Gidmeister’ Glazer, there would have been all manner of embarrassing grammatical errors and inconclusive endings contained herein. To my Mum and Dad, thank you for your support and enthusiasm. Not least, thank you to my wonderful clients and their equally wonderful cats without which this book would have been no more than a pipedream.
