Digweed, the Cat Home, Sweet Home

By Eric Pullin

Once upon a time there was a black cat called Digweed.

Born in a hedgerow to a mother who had once been a housecat, Digweed dreamed of living a life of luxury in the home of human beings. Though still just a very young kitten, he said goodbye to his five brothers and sisters and set out to search for his dream.

They say that black cats are lucky and fortune certainly smiled on Digweed when he was welcomed into the lives of Eric and Penny.

He was loved and he was safe. He had a whole new world to explore, a summer house to nap in, a birdbath to drink from and a bell and collar with his name on. Digweed’s dream had come true, until the day he chased a mouse and became lost – far from
home.

Trying to find his way back to the home that he loved, he met many people, made many friends and used up nearly all of his nine lives.

These are the almost entirely true adventures of Digweed; he’s a hero, a friend, an escape artist, a
fortune teller and a Ratbag

My kiddo is a huge cat lover and reads this book over and over. She loves this book and the others and talks to me about them all the time and it makes me so happy to see her reading and enjoying it.

I was originally intending to complete the project in halves; the book is so well written though, I found myself speeding along.

For Lucy – with love.

Cats are amazing creatures – but then, if you’re a cat person, you don’t need me to tell you that. Cats are fiercely independent yet surprisingly loyal. They can be deeply loving yet totally aloof in the same instant. They are amusing yet frustrating. They are wickedly cunning yet totally honest. They are hugely intelligent. They have no masters; they are never owned. They are free spirits. They do as they please – sometimes they please to do as we wish. Those of us who love them must love them for what they are and not for what we want them to be.

Digweed was such a cat – and I loved him dearly.
