Found this looks like a future purchase to me although I would like to have a looky at the internal illustrations
to see if they're the same as my other editions of this book

That link doesn't seem to work.

corrected now sorry

I am assuming that the internal illustrations would be from the new animated film of Amazing Maurice, rather than Gray Joliffe's cartoons from the original printing (and other reprints since). After all, it is a tie-in version.

I did get to see a copy of this (we bought one to give away in an Amazing Maurice raffle when we held a preview screening a few weeks ago) but I didn't actually open it up or skim through it to have a look - and I didn't win it in the raffle either! Oh well.

In other words, there's no difference in the text? *shrug* Oh, well. I have the original, so if the only difference is the illustrations ... never mind.

It seems to be Terry's Unadulterated Cat, with different illustrations. I don't know if it's still the case, but Unadulterated Cat never used to be available in the US. I got Charlene a copy and liked it so much, she badgered the Harper Collins rep to get it issued over there.

I'd expect not. Just like the movie tie-in printing of The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents is unlikely to have any changes from the original text - just a new cover, and perhaps a new introduction (I am guessing here, I have absolutely no idea if the new printing has an introduction or not)

I always thought The Unadulterated Cat to be Terry's most underrated book but, imo, one of his funniest. I guess it depends on whether you have been a cat owner or not.

Terry also was interviewed for a Cat Magazine some years ago. He was talking about all the cats that lived with him and his family.

This seems to be as good a place as any for this classic shot:

That definitely looks like a real cat anyway. Taken only just in time by the look of it
