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).

​Adopt don’t shop: the benefits of adoption

Three great reasons to get your next pet from a shelter
Consider adopting your next pet
Consider adopting your next pet
Blog post by Shamintha Kumar, ‘Bruce Finds A Home’ Digital Content Coordinator.
 
Thankfully, not every pet is found lying on a footpath like Bruce was. If you’re thinking about getting a new pet, here are three reasons to consider adopting an animal from your local shelter:
​
  1. You’ll save a life. By adopting an animal you’ll take them off ‘death row’ and give them a chance to enjoy life in a loving environment.
  2. Your pet will be set up and ready to go. If you adopt from a shelter your new buddy is likely to have been de-sexed, temperament assessed, micro-chipped, vaccinated and treated for worms and fleas.
  3. Adoption helps other animals too. Supporting your local shelter means they can support other animals in need.
 
And if you do happen to find a pet (it happens - both Bruce and his "big sister" Jager were found), remember to get them neutered. That way you can help break the cycle of stray and homeless animals.

I've made some educational videos about pets at Christmas. One is about choosing pets from shelters, and one is about making sure your pet has a good break while you're on holiday. If you like the videos please feel free to share them. Thank mew!

​The amazing, colour-changing kitten!

20/3/2016

Hi, I’m Bruce the cat! I was found on a footpath when I was one day old. Back then I was as small and grey as a mouse.
 
A few weeks later, when I opened my eyes, they were blue.
 
When I got bigger, I developed dark points on my paws and face. Lots of people thought I was Siamese!
 
But then something strange happened.
 
I got darker…
 
And darker…
 
And darker! My fluffy grey fur turned sleek and black.
 
And then my eyes changed from blue to green.
 
I’m magic!
 
But really, there’s a scientific explanation behind my amazing changing colour.
 
Kittens are born with blue eyes, but most don’t stay that way. At about four weeks old a kitten’s eyes start to change colour, and they don’t settle into their grown-up colour for about three months. (It might be a bit later for me, because I’m a bit of a late developer.)
 
But what about my coat? Why did I change colour from grey to black?

Picture
This not only had me stumped, but also my mum, my dad and my vet! I still haven’t been able to find any scientific information about this, but thanks to the internet I am pretty sure I had a condition known as ‘fever coat’.
 
According to the internet, if the mother cat is sick or stressed during pregnancy, her kittens can be born with fever coat. Fever coat makes the fur appear lighter than it should be for the first weeks or months of a kitten's life. In my case, I changed colour when I shed my kitten coat.  
 
So there you have it – the answer to the mystery behind my amazing changing colour! If you have any information about fever coat please let me know in the comments. ​
