Mischief & Meowsings from the Cat Resort
Mischief & Meowsings from the Cat Resort lets readers slip into the paws-itively charming world of Cat-A-Tonic, a hidden gem tucked in suburban Adelaide.
From the outside, it may look like an ordinary home, but step inside, and it’s clear: this is a true “purr-adise” for our feline friends! Here, up to 50 kitty guests bask in the lap of luxury, thanks to The Five Freedoms— comfort, safety, food, health, and the all-important freedom to be fabulously themselves.
With quirky signs like “Don’t let the cats out, no matter what they say,” guests—both human and feline—know this is no ordinary cat-sit. Cat-A-Tonic has a delightful cast of furry personalities, from the sassy to the snuggly, the curious to the aloof. You’ll discover whiskered wisdom and hilarious antics as cats of all stripes navigate their temporary holiday digs with panache (and the occasional side-eye).
Perfect for cat lovers who know that behind every meow is a little mischief, this heartwarming collection captures the endearing, feisty, and entirely entertaining world of Cat-A-Tonic’s whiskered guests.
