The autobiography of a much-loved rescue cat, presented as if he might have written it himself, as a lasting tribute to a much-loved pet who enjoyed 18 happy years as the special friend of Chris and Ann Dunn in a small Gloucestershire village. Reputedly part Turkish Van cat, this handsome creature was the perfect companion, though always on his own terms, whether scaling next door's greenhouse, camping out with a feline friend in improvised hammocks in the conservatory, or just enjoying his favourite snack of prawns. Chan's adventures are now captured to cherish by all who knew him - and even those who never had the chance to meet him in person will find him engaging company through the pages of this little book.
