The True Story of Aunt Mabel's Dead Cat is fiction based on a true story. This hilariously funny book combines elements of true-life drama, affection for pets, living alone in one's old age, environmental issues, English history during the Industrial Revolution, and practical matters such as giving a pet a proper burial.

The book is both educational and practical, but also emotional, as the author takes the reader into the very mind of a little old lady having to deal with an insurmountable problem that she finds herself having to deal with.

The book was awarded a ""Certificate of Excellence"" award by the Cat Writers' Association in America for winning their ""Entertainment"" section of the international competition conducted in 2025.

The book has a target audience for upper grade school students, but also adults of all ages will enjoy reading this book. The book is forty pages long which makes it an easy read in one sitting. The author includes subject matters such as early photography, familiarising oneself in a strange city, and having a simple faith in God. All these elements take the reader from the pure fiction to the practical - so necessary when finding ones way in a world that can be daunting for anyone without a personal guide to lead the way.
