Kočky jsou nezávislá zvířata se zvláštními povahovými rysy. Mohou být hravé i odměřené, komunikují s námi, ale svým specifickým způsobem a často je jasné, že nestojí o naši společnost. Kočičí svět se od toho našeho liší a ani kočičí vztahy nebývají tak zcela průhledné. Co se tedy děje v kočičí mysli? Tato publikace přináší zevrubnou charakteristiku těchto jedinečných zvířat, všímá si jejich specifických smyslů, jako je skvělý zrak, citlivý sluch, jemný čich, schopnost rozpoznávat chutě, a především rozebírá kočičí inteligenci, myšlení i pověstný kočičí šestý smysl.
Autobiografická prvotina australské výtvarnice a spisovatelky domorodého původu, která v něm sleduje život své rodiny až na samý počátek 20. století.
Autorka v knížce velice prostým a přitom působivým stylem líčí svůj život od nejútlejšího dětství, kdy po smrti otce, válečného veterána, zůstala sama se čtyřmi sourozenci, matkou a babičkou. Teprve jako dospívající si uvědomila svůj domorodý původ i podivné chování své babičky, která na její otázky nikdy nedávala odpovědi. Až jako dospělá žena začala autorka pátrat po původu své rodiny a snažila se prolomit bariéru tvrdošíjného mlčení, z něhož se jen pozvolna před ní vynořoval obraz strastiplného života jejích předků. Kniha se tak přirozeně dělí na tři části, tři generační výpovědi – život babičky, matky a dcery, které podávají velice působivý, nelichotivý, ale také naprosto nesentimentální obraz o postavení domorodého obyvatelstva v Západní Austráli od přelomu 19. a 20. století až do osmdesátých let. Autobiografie je napsaná sugestivně, s humorem a s přesvědčením, že každý člověk má potřebu i právo najít své kořeny.
