English Summary/英文概要: ’It wasn’t that Sugieh was particularly wicked. It was just that she was a Siamese.’
Animal lovers Doreen Tovey and her husband acquire their first Siamese kitten to rid themselves of an invasion of mice. But Sugieh is not just any cat. She’s an actress, a prima donna, an iron hand in a delicate, blue-pointed glove. Sugieh quickly establishes herself as queen of the house.
First published over forty years ago, this warm, witty and moving story has never gone out of style; a truly enjoyable read for anyone who’s ever been owned by a cat.
Doreen Tovey has written over a dozen books, which have sold over 100,000 copies in eight countries.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: "這不是隨著時間的流逝,我們所發現的,Sugieh 是一隻特別詭異的貓。只因她是暹羅貓。"動物愛好者托維•多琳和她的丈夫查理斯為了擺脫入侵的老鼠第一次得到了他們的暹羅小貓,儘管他們擔心貓會去攻擊鳥類。但Sugieh與其他貓截然不同。她是一隻精緻的具有果斷堅定意志的、藍點貓;她是一位桀驁不馴的女演員,一隻貓中之後,她迅速在房內樹立起自己的女王威嚴。由此主人們發現自己已被奴役,多琳和查理斯,儘量降低她每天所造成的混亂:尖叫聲像女妖,嚼了電報,家裡所有的毛製品都撕裂成了一個個洞。但還有更糟的是,Sugieh很快就決定準備好成為一位完美的母親。她和她那些可愛的小貓們正在加大對托維一家的控制。(Sandy)
