What makes the Grimalkins different is they're cats. Posh, spoiled, stuck-up-but-charming, English cats.

A parody of the worldwide television phenomenon Downton Abbey , with cats. Are you sure you want to deactivate your account?
Whilst affectionately making fun of Downton Abbey a broader, more humorous point is made: We treat our cats like high society. Their servants are us.
If you live with a cat, the butler, maid and cook is you. This is a book for fans of the show, and people who put up withfans of the show, and also for people who've ever caughtthemselves getting emotionally involved in their cat's social life, and whether or not some cold cuts would cheer her up. Why is this a book about Edwardian manor life, acted out by cats?

This slim volume condenses three seasons of the popular costume soap, following the upstairs and downstairs antics of turn-of-the-century England's feline population through the sinking of the Titanic to the aftermath of the Great War.
The double-page photographic spreads, reenacting key scenes from the series with a distinctly catty thread is worth the purchase price alone I'm particularly fond of Mattmew Clowder and Thomas Farel -- the latter the "handsome but evil First Footcat" -- preparing to dine on rat in the Verdun trenches -- it's not as gross as it sounds, ha!
A cute and clever Downton pastiche, Downton Tabby is a nicely-designed, humorous read sure to bring a smile to the face of cat lovers and costume drama aficionados alike. Hysterically funny for those who have adored Downton Abbey from start to finish and mourn that the season is over. Even funnier if one knows the Downton material well.
A significant drawback is the the obscure delivery company the merchant chose. If you love Downton Abby you will love this but then I also love my cat Kapri and since she is black one of these cats looks just like her. It is fun and so I ordered a second one to also give a friend and she loved it also. I bought this book for a present. My daughter-in-law thinks "it's a hoot" and se loves Downton Abbey.
I bought this for my granddaughter who knows what a huge fan of "Downton Abbey" I am. She loved having a book that seemed to be a kid version for herself. Plus, we love cats. Most of it is cute, clever, and funny, but there is one part about mating which is totally inappropriate for a child to read.
Luckily we had stopped reading right before it and I was able to skip those pages when we started again. Just beware if that would be an issue for your household. This would make a great gift for any Downton Abbey and cat fan. Perfect for a quick read, fun on the coffee table. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase.
This parody is hysterical. I am both a Downton Abbey fan and a cat lover, so I loved this book. Even if you aren't a Downton fan, if you've ever been snubbed by a cat, you'll love this book.

Much funnier for a well-read Downton fan with a cat fancy, but funny enough to be worth the short read for those who aren't. One person found this helpful.
You gotta like cats, and you gotta like Downton Abby. That said what a wonderful satire of the series. I particularly liked the place setting descriptions. I had a grandmother that was to the manor born and insisted on all silverware being placed appropriately. Now my memories of her are enshrined with the Tabby forms for dinner settings.
