This is the biography of a Siamese – a puss-cat life crowded with incident played out in Essex and Kent, the ‘Catswolds’ and Cambridge, as Nimrod moved house with his ‘Obliger’.
It is the record of a rare nine-life experience embracing not only the usual routines pet lovers enjoy, but also many a crisis verging on disaster. Endearing to the end, Nimrod would not have wanted a halo; but he surely strained every sinew to surprise all who knew him as a great character, independent, and shrewd – a cat of many parts.
