Amal asked Helen Harper:

Not a question. Just a compliment. I am really enjoying Slouch Witch and I am wondering how you got a cat's personality down so well?

Helen Harper Thank you, Amal! When I wrote Slouch Witch I was living in Kuala Lumpur and had a steady stream of stray cats (some feral, some not) present themselves at my door. They all had very individual personalities but the two things they all had in common were a constant desire for food and that they were very 'cat'. Three of them are still with me now back in Britain, and while they have very different temperaments, they all have a bit of Brutus in them too ;)
