Product Description

Throughout the 1990s Deric Longden has shared his life with a blind novelist, Aileen Armitage, and four cats: Thermal, Tigger, Frink and shabby old Arthur. And the cats have found that sharing a life with Aileen can be a very painful business. She hardly ever trips over them these days, but they are always in danger of being mistaken for a cardigan, or inadvertently locked in the cellar.

Ever since Thermal came in from the cold, Deric has seen his world increasingly taken over by cats. What with planning their menus, entertaining their friends, listening to their worries and observing their adventures, he has little time left over for his professional life as a writer. But there are rich rewards. One way or another, the cats in the Longden household are an endless source of interest and laughter.

Few writers have found so much enjoyment in the company of cats, and none has written better about their charm, and the fascinating range of their personalities. Enough to Make a Cat Laugh will enchant cat-lovers everywhere, and give Longden-lovers an unforgettable treat. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laughed 'til I cried....more please, May 14, 1999
By A Customer
Here in Australia people love their cats. They care for them. Most have them desexed. Take em to the vet if they are sick, etc, but i find that those who have a real relationship with them are very few. Deric has the ability to bridge the gap between human and animal, to see the personality under the fur coat.

Working in an animal shelter and adopting out hundreds of cats and thousands of kittens, I applaud the men who mostly chose adult cats for their character, sadly most women wanted kittens and went for looks.

Our eight cats came to us at various ages, one lived with for eight years arriving at age 17. Each had unforgettable and unique personalities and enriched the lives of the humans and other animals in this household. How incredibly lucky we were that they all lived very long healthy lives and that they left a legacy of laughter, companionship and sweet, sweet memories.

After reading listening to 'Enough to Make a Cat Laugh' whilst on the net. I immediately told everyone i knew and blasted the internet Pets/Cats/Animal/Welfare groups to tell them of this fabulous book, as most books about cats are purrile and banal in the extreme. Well done, Deric, I think you are a brilliant humourist and eagerly await more thoughtful and inciteful work from your pen.

I am very cheesed off that the ABC here hasnt shown your play with Thora Hird and I intend to plague them with requests. The local library has your books and they are harder to get hold of than hens teeth and i have complained loudly for more copies.

I adored your cameos of people and am still laughing at the indian gentleman with the pen.

How marvelous it was to find a book that presented our beloved cats as they are, warts and all.

With sincere best wishes to you, your wife and family and any cat lucky enough to be owned by you.

Lori Holland

5.0 out of 5 stars Ever wonder what cats sound like?, December 8, 1999
By RJ ARGENZIO-WEST (Gig Harbor, Washington) - See all my reviews
This is an ABSOLUTELY delightful book to listen to! Mr. Longden's ability to give voices and personalities to animals, and especially inanimate objects is a remarkable gift. His accent is charming and the voices he gives his cats and their pets - a wire brush, a walnut [an especially ugly one] and a sultana, will have you giggling down the highway. While listening to this I went straight to see if he had any other books on tape, but sadly, he does not. I do hope he's working on another one. This would be a wonderful gift for a cat lover or anyone who enjoys a clever turn of phrase. His writing is excellent! This was one of the best books I have ever listened to - and I listen to lots! Absolutely worth the price!

5.0 out of 5 stars Enough for me!, August 30, 2001
By Frances C. Morrier (North Oxford, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I do love Longden's writing. He can handle tragedy (I'm thinking here of a couple of his other books) and high humor (or should I say humour) equally effectively. And, he certainly does know his cats. The scene with the gentleman and the pen just cracks me up every time I've read it--obviously more than once. If you like British style humour and cats you'll love this book.

Great author with dry sense of humour. His writing makes his quirky relationship with his cats come to life without being mushy.

Loved revisiting Thermal and the other cats of Deric Longden. As good as 'The Cat That Came In From The Cold.'
