I'll guide you on amazing cat adventures!

I am a ginger tom cat and I live with my friend, Silky, in Mr. and Mrs. Cotton’s house. Silky is a silver tabby cat.  By now you have probably read my book, “Elmo, The Cat Who Doesn’t Know He’s Orange”, so you already know I was rescued by the RSPCA and adopted.  It was the best thing that ever happened to me.!  I am a very happy cat now. 

If you haven't read my book, you can buy it here.

What readers say;


Elmo -The Cat who doesn't know he's orange is a "great adventure" as my 6 year old daughter called it. We are brought into Elmo's world and see life through his eyes and learn about the value of Hope, Friendship and Self Acceptance in a simple and eloquent manner. Barbara captures that sense of loneliness and fear which Elmo experiences and also safety and love which he yearns for. The story is beautifully accompanied by wonderful illustrations from Emma Waller. It is full of insights and learnings and is a beautifully told story for children and adults alike. I really enjoyed reading it with my daughter.
