Feline Philosophy

The intellectual cat’s pyjamas … Gray’s is the perfect book for the estranging oddness of the pandemic. – Tim Adams * The Observer *Why can’t a human be more like a cat? That is the question threaded through this vivid patchwork of philosophy, fiction, history and memoir … Feline Philosophy is a wonderful mixture of flippancy and profundity, astringency and tenderness, wit and lament. – Jane O’Grady * Daily Telegraph *Engaging, amusing, perceptive and untimely, in the most admirable Nietzschean sense. – Mark Rowlands * New Statesman *An elegant philosophical study of the good life … one of the most important thinkers alive … It’s a mark of the book’s subtlety that you’re not quite sure how seriously to take him. – James Marriott * The Times *A scratching, spitting, and finally purring tour de force. – Will Self
