THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURE OF THE SACRED CAT OF BURMA
by Alain Lescart
Dr Alain Lescart, scholar and breeder of Burmese cats, managed to uncover significant details on this subject while revealing the behind the scenes of a now forgotten legal case which made the front page of all French newspapers of the time, and which revolved around Mme Juanita Leotardi, the first sacred breeder in Burma, and a major mythomaniac.
In his work, the author follows the evolution of the legend with its inconsistencies and contradictions. He is finally interested in the difficulties encountered by the first breeders to develop the breed in the years preceding the Second World War.

A CAT AND EIGHT KITTENS
by Oliver Browne
In A Cat and Eight Kittens, an ordinary cloudy morning walk transforms into an extraordinary adventure for a mother cat and her eight kittens. Little could they imagine the whirlwind of events that would unfold after a chance encounter with an irate dog.
The story takes a thrilling turn when the feline family, seeking refuge from the persistent pursuit of a large brown dog and the relentless rain, stumbles upon what they believe could be their new home. It is here that Spot, the mischievous, snow-white kitten with a distinctive black spot over his right eye, leads the kittens to an incredible discovery: a mysterious sphere with flashing lights. This sphere astonishingly materializes food at the mere mention of it, a feature that, as their mother had feared, attracts the attention of their canine pursuers.
The tension escalates when the dogs arrive in search of the source of the tantalizing scents. It's then that the young kittens unleash their playful yet ingenious tactics to outwit their pursuers. However, a mishap occurs when Felix, one of the kittens, disappears due to an unintended consequence of a wish. Just when it seems all hope is lost, the story culminates in a heartwarming twist. The cat family finds themselves reunited, including Felix, in a picturesque setting: a serene farm by a lake, complete with a loving owner.
