The Cat Who Went to Paris is an American non-fiction book by Peter Gethers published in 1991 that documents the first part of his life with his cat Norton, a Scottish Fold. [1] [2] [3] Gethers subsequently wrote two sequels about his life with Norton, A Cat Abroad ( ISBN 9780449909522) and The Cat Who'll Live Forever: The Final Adventures of Norton, the Perfect Cat, and His Imperfect Human ( ISBN 9780767909037). [4]
Through his brother Eric and a then-girlfriend, Gethers received Norton as a gift. At the time, Gethers was an ailurophobe and "self-centered". [2] With time, Gethers' relationship with Norton changed him as a person, and led to Gethers developing a relationship with his long-time companion, Janis Donnaud. [4]
