The author is a cat person, who has always admired these amazing animals for their energy, grace, beauty and their boundless affection for the humans they trust.
Over the past 58 years, she and her family have been privileged to share their lives with 11 felines of varying sizes, breeds and colors. Their stories evoke the gamut of human emotions from happiness and laughter to deep sadness and regret. Diana needed to tell their stories before these precious memories began to fade. She grew up in Zimbabwe and is the author of Lumpy the Elephant, a children's picture book and Shadows along the Zambezi, a romantic suspense novel. Both are available from online booksellers.

How to become a cat slave ... and love it
f only my parents had written about our cats. In this delightful memoir (to be enjoyed by children and adults alike), Diana Hawkins has brought all the memories of those never to be forgotten feline friends flooding back in her concise and colourful account of her life with her own cats. Each and every one so fondly described; their idiosyncrasies, characters and individuality as different as their photographs portray. I love dogs too but if you've never owned a cat, or should I say, if a cat has never owned you, after you've read these real life experiences you'll be on the look out to fast becoming 'adopted' yourself. Featuring Zimbabwe and American cats makes this gem of a book unique. Greer Noble

These true stories illustrate the happy and sad experiences she has had with her cats, some of which are so heartbreaking they brought more than a few tears to my eyes.
