The Unadulterated Cat

"Real cats never wear flea collars... or appear on Christmas cards... and real cats DO eat quiche."

From the legendary mind of Sir Terry Pratchett comes the ultimate manifesto for the feline purist. In a world increasingly cluttered with "mass-produced" cats—the kind that purr politely for television commercials and eat from gold-plated bowls—the Campaign for Real Cats is here to remind us what a true, unadulterated cat actually looks like.

A real cat doesn’t need a bell on its collar, and it certainly doesn't care for your Christmas card aesthetics. A real cat has ears that look like they’ve been through a hedge backwards, can hear a fridge door opening from two rooms away, and will eat anything left on the table the moment your back is turned.

This classic edition is brought to life by the unmistakable, scratchy, and wickedly funny illustrations of Gray Jolliffe. His drawings perfectly capture the "battered-ear" aesthetic and chaotic energy of Pratchett’s unadulterated felines. Whether you are a long-time Discworld fan or a first-time cat owner, this guide is essential reading for anyone who wants to separate the Real Cats from the riff-raff.
