A tale of cat lovers, the social circle they inhabit, and the power struggles between them. Sukey is a beautiful Albanian Brown kitten, the sort that anyone would fall in love with. Sylvia Mortimer does – and so enters into the blue-rinsed world of pedigree cat-breeding, where competition is cut-throat and corruption knows no bounds.
