![]() ![]() Truss’s latest novel, The Lunar Cats, centres on a librarian who opens up her home to an “evil” kitten and ends up doing its bidding. ![]() The novelist has since procured a second Norfolk terrier, Django, but it was Bill and Daisy who fired up her imagination, inspiring her to write about the “sadistic” relationship between cats and humans. “I’d get home from work and there would be these two black outlines at the top of the stairs looking down at me.” The situation deteriorated when Truss bought a Norfolk terrier, Hogie, in 2009. ‘I think it might just be me who finds it all funny’ ![]() “They were beautiful in their way, but a bit menacing,” she recalls. Then, in the mid-2000s, she adopted two rescue cats, Bill and Daisy. In the mid-1980s there were Buster and Paddy, who remained a constant in her life for 20 years. Since Eats, Shoots & Leaves, it has been Truss’s policy to write about anything other than punctuation so when she was invited to pen a short horror novel, she jumped at the chance – after confirming that the book could be about cats. ‘People apologise as if I’m this horrible person’ ![]()
