Age is creeping up on Monty who is enjoying his well-earned peaceful life dozing in the sunshine on his favourite seat in his garden next to the river. The arrival of a small ginger kitten from next door gives him a new lease of life. The tale of the kitten named Alfie unfolds and describes how he learns to be a grown up cat under Monty's expert tuition. Humorously illustrated this story written in verse will appeal to cat lovers of all ages. The book is dedicated to Monty who sadly is no longer with us but Alfie still lives in the riverside cottage next door enjoying new adventures in the great outdoors.
