Celia Haddon Livres

This delightful little book celebrates Christmas in the Victorian manner - it was, after all, the Victorians who established many of the Christmas traditions we take for granted today - the plum pudding, the holly, the carol singers, the Christmas tree, the exchange of gifts.All these aspects of Christmas are charmingly reflected in colourful Victorian cards and illustrations that Celia Haddon has chosen; accompanying them are uplifting poems by Tennyson and others such as would be read aloud at Christmas by Victorian fathers.The whole book has been designed to look like an authentic 19th century work; and it makes a perfect gift for everyone at Christmas time.

Renowned cat expert Celia Haddon puts the reader inside the mind of their cat, to show them how they think, feel and experience the world.

Start training your kitten early. Ban small girls from the house. Small girls are tempted to commit that ultimate crime - dressing up cats. Be a conscientious door attendant. Cats want to be in when they are out, out when they are in, and sometimes both simultaneously. This work is a collection of cat wisdom for cat lovers with practical advice.

At last, the handbook all you cool cats have been waiting for! One hundred easy ways to discover the joys of a purrfectly obedient human. schovat popis

Adopt a rescue human. They think they are adopting you. Humans that need homes go to special places where cats are kept. These are rescue humans. Humans can't caterwaul - except in the bath or sometimes when they play the piano. They cannot purr. Cat psychologists suggest that this gap in the human vocal repertoire is due to their lack of inner confidence and serenity. Baby humans don't have anyone of their own age to play with, but it doesn't matter as much as it would for a kitten as they are amazingly retarded. Gay tom humans make the best pets.

Cats that insist on drinking from a tooth mug, cats that take their owners on (slow) walkies, cats with saggy tummy syndrome and cats that will only eat if their owners lie flat on the kitchen floor and say 'Yum yum yum' over the food bowl: these are some of the amusing dilemmas addressed by bestselling author Celia Haddon in this gem of a book. Drawing on her years of experience as a pet agony aunt on the pages of the Daily Telegraph, the author has advice for fat cats, faddy cats, food weirdo cats - and their humans - in this charming, light-hearted and well informed book. She unravels the mysteries of cat behaviour and dispenses tips and advice to help readers make their cat very happy indeed. Underpinned by up-to-date scientific research, this book is full of real cat stories and true owner dilemmas. It adds up to indispensable reading for cat lovers everywhere.

In this anthology of prose and poetry, Haddon charts the relationships between people and their dogs.

The perfect token of friendship, this little anthology celebrates friendship through time and contains classic quotations on this eternal theme.
