Enigmatic, alluring and almost always quirky, cats and the ladies that love them share much in common. As individual as their feline counterparts, crazy cat women exude charm and, while they have their eccentricities, they refuse to hide them. Instead, they take centre stage and celebrate what makes them unique; the bond between femme fatale and feline furry.

Yes, cat ladies go the extra mile when it comes to anything feline related. It’s all part of the fun.

So here’s to all you feline loving ladies! This book is a celebration of your pawsomeness. And if you’re on the fence when it comes to embracing your inner cat craziness, but recognise some of the 50 traits outlined in these pages, don’t be shy. Come join the party - it really is where all the cool cats hang out.
