My Cat Spit McGee

With humour and compassion, Willie Morris - a self-declared dog man and author of the classic paean to canine kind, My Dog Skip reveals the irresistible story of his unlikely friendship with a cat. Forced to confront a lifetime of kitty-phobia when he marries a cat woman, Willie is soon won over by Spit McGee, a feisty kitten with one blue eye and one gold, who is nothing like the foul felines that lurk in his nightmares. After Willie saves Spit’s life, they become inseparable, and Willie grows devoted to a companion who won’t fetch a stick but whose wily charm and occasional crankiness conceals a fount of affection, loyalty and a rare and incredible intelligence. My Cat Spit McGee is one of the finest books ever written about a cat - a moving and entertaining tribute to an enduring friendship.
