On March 16th and March 17th this book of cat stories is free:
Excerpt from Chapter 6.
Freddie and Gemma both used to play a game on me. The game would start when I was sitting right in front of the cat. The cat would suddenly look over my shoulder with great intensity and stare at the wall behind me. I would look at the cat and say “What’s the matter, Freddie?” or “What have you seen, Gemma?”
Their gaze would be unwavering as though they were watching aliens landing outside the window or seeing a vast spider walking across the wall. Occasionally, Gemma would even get up on her front haunches to intensify the effect. I would put my hand in front of their eyes and they would move their head, I would block their gaze again and they would move their head again.
Eventually, curiosity would get the better of me and I would like round to see what they were staring at. Of course, there was never anything there and when I turned back to look at the cats they would be curled up fast asleep, apart from one eye peeking out from above their tail. An eye that said most eloquently “I won, I made you look.” I would just smile and admit they had got me again.
