The author met her husband in 2015, a cat fanatic who had never owned a cat due to allergies. When they moved from Spain to Australia in 2018, his allergies disappeared and they adopted a ginger street cat named George. Stylised photographs of George appear throughout the book, alongside more flat graphics of other characters.A portion of the profits from sales of this book are donated to Paws and Claws, the organisation from which they adopted George.
