Felix Unbound

Did you ever wonder what might happen if your cat turned human?

When feisty Tiffany loses her temper with boyfriend Anthony, and accidentally topples a set of inherited Egyptian figurines, ancient forces take their mischievous revenge... and grant her careless wish that men were more like her tabby cat, Felix.

It’s fun at first, as Tiffany and Felix gleefully launch him into her social circle, but it soon becomes clear that charismatic Felix spells trouble. As he wins lightning fast success as a talented artist, Tiffany and her friends’ relationships begin to flex and recalibrate – not always for the better.

There’s something more afoot here; and Tiffany realises that whatever’s got into her cat and his art, has appeared before in her curious family.

Suspicious elders, Ozzy and Iris, circle as ‘Felix’ and his artworks peak and spiral into trouble. Tiffany meets a promising new love and, in this tightly-woven dark comedy of manners, develops a conscience about some – but not all – of Felix’s effects on her friends’ lives. Torn between helping fast-deteriorating Felix avoid Ozzy and Iris’s sinister grasp, or just washing her hands of him, she finally chooses. But none see coming the bizarre opportunity seized by fading but predatory and cunning Felix.

"Felix Unbound is my ‘take’ on themes of transformation, myth leaching into modern life, a comedy of manners - a modern ‘amorality’ tale. A light read with dark undertones." - Cathy Gunn
