About Cat People

In Karachi, a writer house-sits for her father and his cat, while keeping track of his – the cat’s – list of obsessions: ironed white sheets, kheer, KFC fries, warm custard, finely chopped sausages, and the flaky tops of chicken patties. In San Francisco, a couple adopt a cat, without anticipating what it will do to their relationship. In Noida, a cat and two dogs line up peacefully every morning for their daily dose of vitamin syrup. In Bombay, a lyricist and screenwriter roots through the litter tray first thing in the morning, to investigate if his cat’s UTI is better. In wintry London, a young millennial wonders if she is actually a cat.

Capturing the many moods of felines and their humans, in many forms and voices, Cat People, is a timely celebration
of the most memed creature today: the cat. This collection of short stories, personal essays, lists, original art and
photographs is are a treat, not just for cat lovers everywhere, but for all who love a story well-told – and, on occasion, a theory well-spun.
