Description

No one sees us the way our pets do – and this pet has plans of his own . . .

When solitary and struggling A&E doctor Ivy invites the Geologist home one night, her cat Berry’s hackles are raised. As the Geologist becomes more and more a part of Berry’s life, Berry determines to get rid of him. Meanwhile, as Ivy wrestles with her feelings for boyfriends old and new, she’s entirely unaware of her cat’s designs . . .

Shifting between the perspectives of Ivy and Berry, we watch them tussle over who they are, how they got there and what they desire.

Publisher Review

Cat Lover is hugely entertaining and provocative; it’s a thing of beauty * Brian Conaghan, author of Treacle Town * Acutely observed and brimming with wit and pathos, Dan Spencer’s prose is startling, vivid, and alive * Iain Maloney, author of In the Shadow of Piper Alpha *
