The Ghost Cat
"Early morning, 1902. At 7/7 Marchmont Crescent, Eilidh the charlady tips coal into a fire grate and sets it alight. Overhearing, Grimalkin the cat ambles over to curl up against the welcome heat and lick his favorite human's hand. But this is to be his last day on earth... before he becomes the Ghost Cat. Follow Grimalkin as he witnesses the changes of the next 120 years, prowling unseen among the inhabitants of an Edinburgh tenement while unearthing some startling revelations about the mystery of existence, the unstoppable march of time and the true meaning of feline companionship"--

Ratings and reviews
Audiobook Review: This was an awfully sad but cute book about a cat who passes away. His death is missed by the cat god. He is giving the choices of Eternal Slumber never to come back or 9 haunts/lives. 3 is play, 3 he strays and 3 he stays. Guess which one he picks… I think it was interesting to see what he saw over decades and all the memories he “relived”. And historical events. - but with that said.. this audiobook had flaws. You really have to pay attention to the story because you may get lost since the chapters end abruptly, and new characters snd time eras’ are introduced. And the Narrator again. We all know I have a thing about breathy narrators with pronounced S’s. I clenched my teeth. I know the author read the book and I feel bad but.. I had to clench my teeth.
