A moment of silence for my lockdown roots, if you please.
I wanted a cat. I wasn't allowed a cat, and thought that I could prove to my parents that I was very knowledgeable and capable in looking after a cat by creating (not just writing, remember) a book on the very subject. This was in the 90s without the internet so my knowledge had to come from my own tiny primary school brain.
Anyway, I was proud of the book but I still wasn't allowed a cat.
