Once upon a time some mad fool asked author Milly Johnson if she would consider publishing her poetical performance works. She roped in her old mate Stu Gibbins to illustrate iconic pieces such as ’The Trollop of Scunthorpe’ and ‘The Menopause’ and lo and behold, they put together a collection of verse which is by turn touching, humorous and mildly shocking if your sensitivities are easily offended. But most importantly, the reason this book exists is to raise funds for Yorkshire Cat Rescue, which will receive every single penny of the profit. "Buy this book. It’s funny and it’s for CATS." - Ricky Gervais, comedian, actor, writer. "There had been a cat-shaped space in my heart; but it is now filled up with Milly’s enchanting poems. Buy this book. It purrs." - Joanna Lumley, actress, goddess. "A PURRFECT poetic understanding of our wonderful feline friends and their amazing understanding of us humans and all for such a worthy charity too." - Rick Wakeman, musician, rock god. "All I can tell you is I read a random selection of Milly Johnson’s poems and found myself laughing out loud. Good, funny, subversive stuff – altogether to my taste – well done." - Sir Michael Parkinson, author, journalist, broadcaster, national treasure. "Fabulous, funny poems and benefitting cats, what more could you want? Milly has brilliant, hilarious insight into all our many neuroses and quirks." - Jane Fallon, novelist. "How wonderful that Milly Johnson's book of poems is being published to support Yorkshire Cat Rescue. Cats bring such joy and comfort to out live and having played Grizabella in the show "Cats" I say, "WELL DONE MILLY!" - Anita Harris, actress, singer, entertainer.
