Summary
When Simon, an orphaned young cat, is smuggled on board HMS Amethyst, his simple life amidst the streets of Hong Kong is transformed into an adventure fit for heroes.
Bringing joy and compassion to those on board, Simon is the only puss to have been awarded the PDSA Dickin Medal, the highest honour for animal gallantry in wartime.
Based on the true events of Amethyst's Yangtze Incident, Simon's quirky yet emotional cat's-eye narrative is sure to move and entertain all who listen to it.

If you love cats or don't please read this book.
Well written and read. A wonderful insight to the mind of a cat, a must read.

The bravest cat
A wonderful story of Able Seacat Simon on HMS Amethyst. Parts of the story are, of course, fictionalised but it gives an account of the real events during the Amethyst Incident. The impact of Simon amongst the crew is testimony to how important he was. The whole crew attended Simon's funeral for example. I feel Simon is still working in that he is helping to keep the memory of the Amethyst incident alive, and the memory of those who died.
