l can't believe that l have decided to review a book a month, and l have started with
"THE FRENCH CAT" by Rachel McKenna
l don't really like cats, but then l have never had one. Love my dog ?
No, seriously l enjoyed the whole 165 pages of this beautifully Illustrated Book, not only photos of cats, but the romantic, rustic, heavenly " France "
Rachel writes ; ln December our beautiful daughter Charlize was born.
6 months later, with my husband Andy, and Charlize in a backpack, the 3 of us set off to write this book. To me the assignment was like a love affair. Leaving at dawn to wander those romantic, ethereal, empty streets searching for cats.
Her photos tell a story.
Hundreds of cats hang out in the large Montmartre Cemetry,where they would prowl amongst the graves and sit on the headstones of former famous Parisions.
Such is the French way, these cats are well looked after.
Every day around noon, a man (Saujot, a true cat lover ) arrives at the cemetery hauling 30 kilograms of cat food on a little trolley. He walks 6 kilometres from home and pays for the food himself or out of some donations from cat lovers.
