One of them, Toto, has been blind from birth, but we quickly realised she had ninja-like reactions. Like a lot of cat owners (or cat servants), we like to imagine our pets having secret lives when we're out or asleep. So before I knew it I was writing about Toto and her brother Silver's nocturnal adventures around London. I really hope that children who pick it up enjoy reading the adventures of our little Italian underdog (cat).'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003eHave you seen Toto's other adventures? \u003cem\u003eThe Great Snake Escape\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Incredible Cheese Heist\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Superstar Catastrophe\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Legend of the Wildcat\u003c\/em\u003e are out now, and make perfect gifts for young readers.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFor more animal adventures, discover \u003cem\u003eWings of Glory\u003c\/em\u003e.
