Following "Cathedral Cats", this book turns from the "ecclesiasticat" to the "academicat". With ten cats from Oxford and ten from Cambridge, our ancient universities are represented by another maverick group of felines, surpassed in eccentricity only by their owners. The book is full of photographs and stories of acts of feline daring and cheek, leading to rustication and exclaustration. Among the featured felines at Oxford are Diplock (aka Baby) of Worcester, Sammy & Rosie at Christ Church, Charlie at St Peter's, and Simpkin at Hertford. At Cambridge there are Jessica and Charlie at Westcott, Sprocket at Fitzwilliam, Caiaphas at St John's, Lloyd, and Oliver & Peggity at Wesley House.
