I am eleven years old and go to Bradford Grammar School with all my best friends! I enjoy writing because sometimes it helps me express myself. I based this book on my real cat, Binka, who is also black and white, just as you can see in the picture on the cover! I've had my cat for about nine years and she means a lot to me. Fortunately, I haven't actually lost her in real life and I am grateful for that as she is like a best friend to me!
