WOW - my book Bruce Finds A Home is going to be part of the Little Landers Literature programme!  Along with illustrator Robyn Belton (whose beautiful book The ANZAC Violin is in stores now), I'm going to be teaming up with The Highlanders to bring the joy of reading to Dunedin's children (well, mum is. She will probably leave me at home).

Visit the Otago Daily Times website to find out more about Little Landers Literature.

My new buddies!

Now that I have my own book out (Bruce Finds A Home), mum and dad have been going around schools and libraries to read it to children. But they never take me with them! Now they have two cute replicas to take along - one of me as a kitten and one of me as a grown-up. They were made by this clever lady. Aren't they cute?

My story is in the NZ Woman's Weekly!

My story has been featured on all sorts of websites, but I never thought I'd be sharing my tale in the New Zealand Woman's Weekly! But my handsome face is featured three times in this week's edition. I have to say the photographer was a lot more professional than the usual amateurs (mum and dad) that I have to deal with. He did an excellent job capturing my sleek coat. 

(My mum's in the article too, but I think we all know who the real star of the show is.)

What a purrrfect book launch it was at Dunedin's University Bookshop today! I was too busy napping to attend personally, but my stand-ins (the knitted toys pictured in the middle photo above) did a great job. 

Bruce Finds A Home is now available in all good bookshops. You can also buy it online here:
  • Dorothy Butler Book Shop
  • University Book Shop
  • Time Out Bookstore
  • Bruce the Cat website
  • Fishpond

I had a pawsome Auckland book launch at The Dorothy Butler Book Shop last Sunday! I'm looking forward to the Dunedin launch at The University Book Shop this Saturday 17 February at 10.30am (all welcome). But where can you get my book if you don't live in Auckland or Dunedin? Well, you can get it at all good New Zealand bookshops ... and you can also buy it online! Too easy! Here are the stockists I'm currently aware of:

  • Dorothy Butler Book Shop
  • University Book Shop
  • Time Out Bookstore
  • Fishpond

And of course you can buy it on this website (just click 'shop' on the top right).

By George they're handsome

When I was a tiny kitten George Takei beamed me up by featuring my story on his Facebook page. I've gone on to become a huge George fan, and today I'm boldly going where no cat has gone before... revealing the top five similarities between George Takei and me, Bruce the Cat.
Picture
1. Let's start with the most obvious one. We're both incredibly handsome. 
Picture
2. We both look great in costume. (The trouble with Tiddles is that I don't really enjoy wearing my one.)
Picture
3. We're known for our expressive paws. 
Picture
4. We're both pleasing in plaid. (Resistance is futile!) 
Picture
​5. And most importantly of all, we both stick up for what we believe in.  (One of us is slightly more focused on human rights and the other one is slightly more focused on cat rights. I'll let you try to figure out who is who.)

​Another similarity between us is that we've both written books! You can find out more about George's books here, and more about my book here and below.

    Hello, my name's Bruce. Mum found me when I was just one day old. She and my dad are keeping me warm and fed with help from my other new human friends.
