A timeless and humorous take on the secret life of cats, turning the classic proverb 'when the cat's away' on its head. 'A strikingly beautiful book, its airy, Matisse-inspired design a witty blend of cool sophistication and faux naif charm' Joanna Carey "Guardian"
Synopsis
Martha may think her cat Lionel sleeps the day away while she is at school, but she is quite mistaken. Lionel is a worldly-wise cat with a jam-packed schedule. He busies himself during the day by catching up on his affairs, weightlifting, cooking and enjoying some letter-writing.
