Présentation de l'éditeur :

A brilliantly charming and beautifully illustrated story about a friendship that knows no bounds.

Catvinkle is a sleek and satisfied housecat, whose hobbies include baby-shoe dancing and snoozing (but mainly snoozing). Ula is a damp and down-at-heel dalmation whose owners have abandoned her, and she's too hungry to have any hobbies.

Together they make an unlikely pair, but Catvinkle falls head over heels for Ula's delicious musky scent, and soon they are best friends. But trouble is on the horizon in the shape of Catvinkle's nemesis, Twinkiepaws...

Oh, and one last thing: Catvinkle can fly!
