|summary=A nefarious cat spills all in these bizarre-seeming pages. But while they seem bizarre, everything is delivered perfectly straight, very sensibly and at times quite cleverly.

Meet Burma. Allison Breaking, blogger and journalist behind the Breaking News website is about to, for she's accepted his giant wage packet to ghost write his memoirs. She's been told to expect the unexpected as regards his looks, but she is shocked to find that Burma is in fact the world's only talking cat, and that he has not one but nine lives to talk about. The past eight were full of a lot of evil, sin and death – but at least he's coming clean now, right?

On the whole, then, these pages provide glimpses at a great story mythos that might have gone further – I'm sure someone could have extended the whole thing to a trilogy, given the amount that is going on. It wouldn't have taken much – and it wouldn't have taken much for this book to have left 'good' behind for 'very good', but it is mighty close. A cat's whisker, you might say.

The series starting with [[Grandville by Bryan Talbot]] has some great criminal animals - or is it animal criminals?
