The Cat Share: A Warm and Joyous Romantic Comedy about Two Strangers in Love with One Very Greedy Cat

Sometimes it's as simple as meeting the boy next door.

Jenni lives alone with her cat Oscar - yes, she's single but, after breaking up with her boyfriend, she's more than content to be living alone. Sometimes she worries she might be playing things too safe, but she's had enough of taking risks.

Ben is a firefighter and, if he's honest, he's finding life hard. The arrival of a small tabby cat, who Ben decides to call Fred, helps him feel less isolated. But then, one day, Ben decides to take a chance. Wanting to reassure Fred's owner he's not stealing their cat, he attaches a note to the cat's collar.

As the two neighbours start corresponding via the cat, their notes to each other reveal the truths they are hiding from even their closest friends, and themselves.

The Cat Share is a warm and joyous romantic comedy about two strangers in love with one very greedy cat, inspired by a true story, for fans of The Flat Share, You've Got Mail and Rescue Me.
