Synopsis
A parody of the worldwide television phenomenon Downton Abbey , with cats. Downton Tabby is about EnglandâÈçs oldest and finest family of cats in people clothes. With beautiful (and scandalous) photographs and art, it tells the story of their lives and lovesâÈ'and their maids and butlers and cooksâÈç lives and lovesâÈ'from the sinking of the Kitanic to the Jazz Age. TolstoyâÈçs adage about each family being unhappy in their own way? What makes the Grimalkins different is theyâÈçre cats. Posh, spoiled, stuck-up-but-charming, English cats. Okay, itâÈçs not just about cats and class warfare. ItâÈçs also a parody of Downton Abbey , the phenomenally popular TV show where everyoneâÈçs always getting dressed. Or theyâÈçre already dressed, and theyâÈçre getting more dressed. While it makes affectionate fun of Downton Abbey, it makes a broader humorous point: We treat our cats like high society. Their servants are us. If you live with a cat, the butler, maid, and cook is you . ItâÈçs our catsâÈç world. We just lint-roll it. So itâÈçs for fans of the show, and people who put up with fans of the show, and also for people whoâÈçve ever caught themselves getting emotionally involved in their catâÈçs social life, and whether or not some cold cuts would cheer her up. Why is this a book about Edwardian manor life, acted out by cats? The real question is why arenâÈçt there more?
