The little cat Deric Longden saw sitting forlornly on an upturned bucket belonged to the ... more

neighbours  but somehow when it began to rain it
seemed only natural to bring him inside. Once
there he slipped so easily into Deric and Aileen's
lives that there was an unspoken agreement that he
had found his real home. Little did he know that
he had entered the Longden world  in which the
unexpected (almost) always happens...Aileen being
Aileen  it was probably inevitable that sooner or
later the kitten would be trapped in the
refrigerator. And Deric being Deric  the obvious
way to thaw him back to life was to make a little
coat for him out of a shrunken thermal vest. Thus
the cat who came in from the cold got his name -
Thermal - and joined the wonderful cast of
characters in the ongoing Longden saga.

All Time Favourite Book

Advantages: Unputdownable
Disadvantages: It's all over too quickly

...when they are feeling under the weather or basically just need cheering up. Believe it or not, I have bought three or four copies of this book because I just have to keep passing it on.

I don't think you really need to be a cat lover to enjoy this book because the beauty of Deric's writing is that he has the ability to make even inanimate objects take on a life of their own and make you laugh. For example, the hero of the book is a ...
...know, not very funny in the telling but Deric has the ability to hit my funny bone every time. He writes about his every day life with his blind wife Aileen (who is an author in her own right) and his kitten Thermal and Thermal's friends. His writing has an innocience to it which I love.

I blush because I have read this book about five times over the past five years and I still get ambushed by the funny bits when I'm not expecting ... more

Like cats? You must read this book!

Advantages: Giggle-out-loud funny, charming, immensely accessible, honest.
Disadvantages: Unusually, absolutely nothing!

...that it was one of the best literary investments she could ever have made. This charming little tome drags the reader on a lovely journey of enlightenment and discovery, as writer Deric Longden comes to the wonderful realisation that he is, in fact, a Cat's Best Friend. It all begins when he spots his next door neighbour's new kitten sitting on an upturned bucket in the yard. When the day turns rainy and the little mite is still out in the cold, ...
...new love affair culminates in the sneaky adopting of the kitten, and the story runs from there. Fears of sheepskin rugs, drunken misbehavior with spilt wine, climbing trees, a pet sultana called Ralph, and all sorts of other scrumptious quirks and mishaps ensue as Deric and his kitten bond, culminating in Aileen - who is almost blind - shutting him in the fridge with a pack of Danish bacon. The wonderful image of Deric thawing him out in a shrunken ...

Lovely book! Recommend to cat lovers!

Advantages: Light reading, well written
Disadvantages: A little short

...a home, but outside and the Author takes pity on the little creature. Of course , once he is invited in to the Author's home, the mischief starts! The book is written in the first person mainly, IE, from the Author's viewpoint, but also as if the cat is thnking; it is cleverly done and very readable.The characters, both human and animal are endearing and the whole thing is one relaxing read and hard to put down. my only point of disadvantage, if ...

and is still waiting for the next book

Advantages: it helps if you have owned a cat!
Disadvantages: if you havent owned a cat you will need a very good imagination.

...this wonderfully talented gentlemans books. the first two concentrating primarily on derics beloved wife diana and her fight with teminal illness. but even then his ability to make you part of his world, mearly through his writing, jumps out at you in abundance. the cat who came in from the cold is a story about his day to day life, as are all his books. but for the most part you find yourself seeing derics world through the eyes of his cats. thermal, ...
...the study. that is of course when he isnt teaching his sultana a thing or two.! then there is the house guests of course, more cats, and finally deric and his wife aisling. aisling incedently is blind, and although i hate to sound rude, adds major humour to the whole book, simply by the things she manages to do and say. all of his books will have most people hooked. however, if you own a cat, you will be in stitches for the most of the read. only ...

More fun in the household

Advantages: Great book if you love Deric Longden's writing
Disadvantages: You would be better starting with an earlier book if new to his writing

I have to confess that I do enjoy Deric Longden's books. He has a wonderful, somewhat offbeat but simplistic, way of looking at life that I love and his sense of humour has me chuckling away as I read so I was really pleased to see that he had a new book out and I could hardly wait for it to arrive from Amazon. Paws in the Proceedings is the latest in a line of books which looks at life in the Longden household and, given the title, I was hoping it would make a lovely follow on from 'The cat that came in from the cold' and 'Enough to make a cat laugh' which were his two previous book about the felines in his life. It sort of does that because woven throughout the book is the tale of the latest arrival, Nokia, and how he fits in with Thermal and Tigger who feature in the earlier books but it also continues with varied tales ...
