Soubor devatenácti povídek o kočkách a jejich lidských protějšcích navazuje na knihu Esmeralda a další příběhy o kočkách.
Devatenáct kratších příběhů (možná autentických) ze života koček pohledem koček. Po předchozích úspěšných sbírkách příběhů o kočkách je to již třetí svazek krátkých povídek na toto téma. Autorka pokračuje v úspěšné linii předchozích knih a v dojímavých, humorně laděných textech zpracovává původně asi autentické kočičí zážitky zčásti "kočičím pohledem";- jako by je líčili samotní kočičí hrdinové jejích příběhů. Kočky tak dostávají tvář a charakter, jsou domýšleny jejich pohnutky. Jejich očima je pak líčen i svět a pohnutky lidské, které se se zvířecími doplňují a prolínají.
Aus dem Englischen von Bettina Lemke Mit s/w-Abbildungen Katzen sind Persönlichkeiten, wie jeder weiß, der mit den samtpfötigen Wesen näheren Kontakt pflegt. So unterschiedlich ihre Charaktere sind, so verschieden ist ihr Katzenleben. Charmant und witzig erzählt Stella Whitelaw von liebenswürdigen und heldenhaften, gerissenen und anhänglichen, unbeholfenen und souveränen oder schlichtweg verrückten Katzen und Katern. Da ist zum Beispiel Byron, der süße, verträumte Kater, der sich plötzlich in einem Job als Katzentherapeut wiederfindet, Tootsie, die ebenso gefräßige wie musikalische Kirchenkatze, die Orgelmusik liebt und keine Hochzeit verpaßt, der große Leopold, der als fliegender Kater sogar den Möwen Konkurrenz macht, Chloe, die Champagnerexpertin, der Kater des Weihnachtsmanns, der für ihn einspringt, als Weihnachten auszufallen droht, Katie, die Katzenflüsterin, die die Gabe hat, in die Seele der Vierpföter zu blicken, oder Tucker, der Kater, der nicht mausen kann, dafür aber andere ungeahnte Fähigkeiten entwickelt.
