- perfect for teenagers and adults. It contains some very funny
sophisticated humor.
The secret lives and loves of cats are revealed in this adventure novel,
entitled “The Secret Diary of Adrian Cat” that peeks into a year in the
life of the mischievous feline Adrian Cat. Adrian is having trouble
keeping his new year's resolutions (especially "I will not be
condescending to my humans"), and he's also adjusting to the fact that
his humans have a new baby, his best friend needs constant help, and
he's in love for the first time—with the angelic-seeming Snowball. But
Snowball turns out to be less than perfect and tries to lead Adrian into
organized crime. She forces him to join the evil cat Killer’s gang.
After numerous misadventures he realizes that he does not love the
beautiful but power-crazed Snowball and really loves the scruffy yet
tender alley cat named Gypsy. After Killer’s gang runs Gypsy out of
town, Adrian is forced to make some strange friends, fight the evil
Killer and travel a rough road in order to convince Gypsy of his love.

Today I had an intellectual day - Snowball would be impressed (if we
were speaking).
Wrote a poem entitled DesideCata. I am thinking of becoming a cat
laureate!
DesideCata
Stroll placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there
may be in a long tranquil nap. As far as possible, without being in any
way humble, be on good terms with all creatures - with the obvious
exception of dogs. Meow your desires loudly and clearly and occasionally
listen to others, even your human, for she may be calling you for
dinner. Avoid the company of fleas, they are vexations to both spirit
and body. Enjoy your achievements - particularly wallpaper lovingly
scratched and pieces of string thoroughly chased. Keep interest in your
career, there will always be a need for good mousers in the changing
fortunes of time. Be yourself; especially do not feign affection -
except when you need a warm lap to sleep on. Neither be cynical about
the love of cream, for through your charmed and enchanted existence it
is as perennial as the grass it comes from.
Take kindly the council of the years and rejoice in the fact that you
have nine lives.
Nurture arrogance of spirit to shield you from sudden misfortune such as
getting stuck up a tree. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born out of getting less than twenty hours sleep in a
day. Beyond a wholesome discipline be gentle with yourself and groom
yourself frequently. You are a cat of the universe, so much greater than
humans and dogs; you have a right to be served. And even though you may
sleep through most of it, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it
should. With all its snacks, adventures and peaceful dreams, it is truly
a beautiful world. Be content. Continue to be happy.

I am in love! The most beautiful white Persian has just walked through
my garden. Unfortunately my inconsiderate humans are out so all I could
do was gawk passionately at her from my bedroom window. As she slinked
through the hedge I’m sure she glanced back and smiled at me. As soon as
I can get out I will search relentlessly until I find my soul mate.

I met my darling White-Beauty in the park this morning. Her real name is
Snowball – such a pretty name. We went for a romantic walk along the
canal and past the Sewage Works. She told me everything about herself;
the naughty things she did as a kitten, the human family she has adopted
and all her likes and dislikes. What she forgot to tell me is that she
already has a boyfriend – Killer! When he spotted us on the canal bridge
rubbing heads he was not amused. It took all day for my fur to dry out.
13th January
Met Snowball on the way home. She wants me to win her heart by
challenging Killer to a duel. Really, how barbaric. What century does
she live in? Modern etiquette dictates that the way to woo a lady-cat is
to present her with a love token such as a decapitated mouse or a
comatose robin.
