Clare de Vries knows that it's far wiser to love a cat than a man, but where can she find a replacement for her beloved Burmese cat Claudius? Surely the obvious place to look is Burma. Clare sets off on her quest to Myanmar and Thailand and meets the local people, veering from white beaches to grubby alleys in Bangkok, but only finds cockroaches, fleas, elephants, and some weird admirers. Then she discovers the perfect kittens, hidden in a remote temple. All she has to do is give a donation to the monk who owns them. Or so she thinks.
