About the author

"I have loved animals from as far back as I can remember", writes Celia Haddon. "As a child, I realised that some animals suffered at the hands of ignorant humans. To right this I have published several books about cats. Cats make me laugh. We humans don't really understand them, though. If we did, they would have a happier life.

For 20 years I wrote about companion animals (pets) for the Daily Telegraph. For 12 of these years I was a pet agony aunt and dealt with about 100,000 letters. My aim was to improve animals' lives by giving good information - and, with luck, to make my readers laugh at the same time.

I have also written several daily quotation books, now out of print, and a history of the first English Olimpick Games in 1612 - now republished in Kindle. My latest cat is Tilly and my latest cat book is Tilly: the Ugliest Cat in the Shelter. It tells the story of how I rescued Tilly from 18 months without adoption; and how she rescued me in the darkest moment of my life.

While rummaging through the see of our things I found the physical copy of the book in one of our old boxes in the attic of our house. I am glad I was able to save it before Dad bequeath some of our old stuff to philanthropic enterprises in our town. As young as I was before, I have always been fascinated by quotes that speak of love and wisdom. In a sense, when I'm under the weather they give me the strength and ways of thinking as positively as I could to face the day.
