Minka and Curdy
Antonia White1957

Victoria, a real tyrant of a cat, spent so many years training her owner to be the ideal hostess that Mrs Bell feels it would be disrespectful to replace that formidable creature. But her resolve is worn down, and she finally agrees to take a marmalade kitten - and is immediately offered a Siamese that she also simply cannot resist. This is the story of a writer seduced by the contrasting charms of two Curdy, lively and mischievous; and Minka, elegant, imperious, and disdainful of the ginger upstart.
