it was amazing
Read 2 times. Last read August 3, 2019.

It is 1763 and Mr. Smith, a poet, is in an asylum for lunatics. With him is his ginger cat Jeoffrey who protects the poet and other asylum patients by battling the demons that come out at night.
However, one night the Devil himself comes to have a parley with Jeoffrey and, unfortunately, a cat sometimes isn't any wiser than a human. Where the two differ is in how they make up for their mistakes and how fantastically one can battle with claws! But are sharp claws and teeth enough to win against Satan and save a soul?

Another one of those stories I would have never known about was it not for a few Goodreads friends reading and reviewing it.
It is indeed mostly for cat lovers - in fact, it is told from the point of view of the cat Jeoffrey - but I think it's also a great tale of courage and admitting your mistakes and working to make up for them.

A cute and funny tale with supernatural twists, the love of and for words, as well as purring (or growling) cats. Fantastic!
