The cat came back...a review...

Darren Johnson is drunk, depressed, and pining over the loss of his girlfriend when, on the way home one night, he spots a small, grey stray cat out in the rain and in a moment of chivalry, decides to take pity on the little fella. Taking him in and giving him shelter for the night, Darren leaves the cat out in the hall while he passes out in his bedroom, but the very next morning, when he wakes up, he quickly finds very good reason to regret this decision...

For while he has been asleep, the little cat has also been busy - defiling and destroying his whole apartment!!

Fuming and absolutely furious, Darren takes the cat and throws him back out on the street...but then, the next night, mysteriously the cat comes back...

Darren awakes in the middle of the night to find the cat somehow back in his apartment.

Once more, Darren ejects the cat - this time kindly donating him to an old man, who lives a few floors down, and who takes in and feeds abandoned waifs and strays, but once again, the next night, the cat comes back.

No matter what Darren tries to do, the cat always seems to want to return to him - until finally he is forced to resort to desperate measures to try and rid himself of this unwanted pet.

But even then, still the cat comes back!

Matthew Cash is a true British talent and an author who is exceptionally gifted and talented at crafting very clever stories.
I have had the pleasure of reading a number of his efforts over the last few years, and not once have any of them failed to impress. 
This though, is by far, one of my favourites of all the stories yet I have had the pleasure of reading by him.

With this short, little novella, Matthew Cash has created a chilling and terrifying read that is sure to make you look at your own cat a little differently from now on.

Be warned though, the book does contain a few scenes of animal violence and brutality so if that is something that doesn’t appeal, you might be best avoiding this.

This book is ideal for fans who might like Matt Shaw, and if you have read and loved any of his books, I would really recommended you checking out Matthew Cash!

A strong 4/5 and I look forward to reading more by this author soon.
