Seven short dialogues between animals – a cat named Kiki, a dog named Toby and others – reflect life from an unusual perspective. The animals observe humans, nature, feelings and habits with a sharp eye and subtle humour. The themes include freedom and captivity, hunting and tranquillity, friendship and rivalry. A tomcat talks about his pride and fear, a dog about loyalty and suffering. Together, the dialogues show how the animal and the human intertwine – quietly, pointedly and full of surprises.
