Tom Cox

Nonfiction / Animals / Cats

Meet The Bear—a cat who carries the weight of the world on his furry shoulders, and whose wise, owl-like eyes seem to ask, Can you tell me why I am a cat please? Like many intellectuals, The Bear would prefer a life of quiet solitude with plenty of time to gaze forlornly into space and contemplate society's ills. Unfortunately, he is destined to spend his days surrounded by felines of a significantly lower IQ. There is Janet, a large man cat who often accidentally sets fire to his tail by walking too close to lighted candles; Ralph, a preening tabby who enjoys meowing his own name at 5AM; and Shipley, Ralph's brother, who steals soup but is generally relaxed once you pick him up and turn him upside down. And then there's Tom Cox, writing with wit and charm about the unexpected adventures that go hand-in-hand with a life at the beck and call of four cats. This heartwarming Sunday Times bestselling memoir about a man at the mercy of his unpredictable,...

Now Ty, as chief cameraman, had to film her every move, yet all he wanted to do was cast his equipment into the sand and kiss the strong-willed beauty senseless. And while the attraction was mutual, Ty needed to be sure he was loved for himself, not his money; that's why he pretended he was no longer a millionaire. But when the truth was revealed, would Shannen forgive his deception...or would Ty lose the love and trust he'd fought to rebuild?
