THE GHOST CAT

Alex Howard's endearing narration illuminates the time travel of a 15-year-old male cat living in 1887. After his death, Grimalkin spends his remaining eight lives in the supernatural realm, visiting the same Edinburgh tenement in 1902, 1930, 1942, 1953, 1969, 1997, 2008, and 2022. Howard's performance highlights Grimalkin's charming, sometimes cantankerous personality through his commentary on significant discoveries, such as electricity, penicillin, and even canned cat food. Howard's diverse accents and voices convey the changing vernacular through cultural events such as the Beatles phenomenon and the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. This inventive tour through time with its memories of places and people may be especially delightful for cat lovers. M.F. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2024]
