Peter Brighouse is hoping to be discovered.
Several generations of cats have inspired the art works and stories which show a zoologist's take on garden wild-life plus a modern day touch of Beatrix Potter style anthropomorphism.
The author and illustrator finds the writing easy, with the quality to be decided by yourselves; the illustrations and drawings most enjoyable to produce; the graphic design manageable, (after a career in computers), but the marketing most difficult.
In our fictional feline world we now have eight cats:
Mopprag (based upon Moppet) - the matriarch of the group, a proper lady, who stands no nonsense and expects to be treated in a respectable manner;
Tigtoes (based upon Tigger) - very fit, bouncy and daft, with orange stripes;
Squimps (based upon Simpkin) - a wise gentle animal, very affectionate, the non-identical twin brother of Tigtoes;
Bullpuss (based upon The Bullpuss) - a rehabilitated stray from the wilds of Fallowfield, very large, very street-wise, with a fine line in wise-cracks;
Tabitha (based upon Tabitha Twitchit) - a small dark stripy rescue cat, who likes her own way with most things and is often affronted if that doesn't happen;
Mungojerrie (based upon Mungojerrie, since we gave up bothering about copyright on famous felines' names) - the tallest ginger cat we have seen with a fluffy tail that reaches so high you can take him for walks on his built in lead.
I shall now add cats 7 and 8 to the Ginger Nuts Gang and integrate their charming stories into the sequence.
Ribby, named again for Beatrix Potter, a 3 year old stray, preyed upon by the Brass Cats of Rusholme and Moss Side, here in Manchester and rescued together with her third set of kittens by a dear friend.
Ruby, one of the four little girl kittens from Ribby's final batch.
