Bookroo's summary

Muriel, the solitary Catlady, finds her life upended when a peculiar kitten named Vicky is born. This isn't just any kitten; Vicky exudes a regal aura and shares her birthdate with the death of Queen Victoria. As Muriel navigates this uncanny coincidence, she must uncover the truth behind Vicky's extraordinary nature. Is this kitten merely a pet, or does she hold secrets that could alter Muriel's quiet existence forever? Dive into a tale where the ordinary meets the extraordinary, and a simple life is transformed by a feline mystery.

From the publisher

Muriel is known as the Catlady, because she lives alone with just her many cats for company. When a new kitten is born, it soon becomes clear that it’s no ordinary cat. Vicky is a kitten with a very regal character, and strangely enough, she was born on the very day that Queen Victoria died!
