'The wonderful thing about having a relationship with a cat is that it can bring you to something truly extraordinary and life-changing' 
 
There comes a time in every cat's life when his schedule slows down, and he struggles with aches and pains. Peter has been inseparable from his Scottish Fold cat Norton for fourteen years, and now he has to learn how to deal with death and grief.

Forever Norton is a deeply moving and life-affirming tribute to a humble little animal, who understood the meaning of true friendship.

In addition to being the internationally bestselling chronicler of the world's cutest cat (now published by Ebury as A Cat Called Norton, For the Love of Norton and the forthcoming Forever Norton), Peter Gethers has written two novels and, using the pseudonym Russell Andrews, five bestselling thrillers. In his spare time, he is a book editor and runs a film company.

There are only three things a cat needs for a fine life - good food, a comfortable bed, and universal praise and love. Luckily - after converting his human, Peter, from cat hater to cat lover - Norton has plenty of all three. And they're about to get better, as his Peter and girlfriend Janice decide to up sticks and spend a year in rural France. 
 
Norton in Provence is like - well - the cat who got the cream, whether he is hunting for mice in the rambling garden, hanging out with the local stray cats in the sun-drenched town square or being treated to delicacies in fine restaurants. And with Norton by his side, Peter finds that his Gallic neighbours welcome their new guests with open arms. 
 
Over the course of the year, Peter learns how to sit back, relax and enjoy the pleasures of a simple life. In A Cat Called Norton, the eponymous cat taught Peter how to love. Now, in For the Love of Norton, he teaches Peter what it is to truly live.

An entertaining romp that leaves no doubt that Mr Gethers and his cat have a most remarkable relationship

Peter Gethers has spent ten years chronicalling the life of his extraordinary cat. When he has free time, he's a novelist, publisher and screenwriter. He lives in New York City, Sag Harbor and Sicily.

Peter was a confirmed loner and cat hater, until he was given a small, grey (and impeccably handsome) kitten with folded ears by his then girlfriend. The girlfriend went but Norton stayed - in fact, he and Peter became inseparable. 
 
Trotting along beside him down the street, having his own chair in restaurants or sitting on Peter's lap on plane journeys, Norton made his presence felt and Peter was a loner no more. But, after learning how to love his cat, would Peter now learn how to love another human too?
