Le Tomcat Diaries

This book was the funniest, most engrossing book I have read for quite a while! It is told from the perspective of a spoiled tom cat, Mr. Blinkers. He and his people (Victoria and Hans) move from his comfortable home in England to a new home in the South of France, where he has been promised fountains of tuna. Mr. Blinkers is not pleased about this move but does make the best of it.

As his humans battle crooked real estate agents, deal with lawsuits, and live with a very wet house, Mr. Blinkers has his own problems to worry about. There is a yappy poodle named Polly who loves next door and an earless shadow cat, Jynx, who runs the street with an iron paw. Mr. Blinkers and his lifelong love Roe must work on a revenge plan to take back this quiet road and save the village.

I had a hard time putting this book down. E.A. Menches weaves a story that sucks you in and holds you there. The climax of the book came and had me in tears I was laughing so hard. Mr. Blinkers' perfectly laid plans for revenge went better than he could have ever expected and it was great! I will keep this book to reread (which I don't do often since I don't have much time to read anymore). I also learned how NOT to invest in the French property market, a lesson clearly learned the hard way...

This is a quick read, and you should get it. It is worth every minute of your time, if you like cats at all.

I received the product mentioned above for free or greatly discounted in exchange for my review. Regardless, I only recommend products I like and use personally.
