Description

Audio drama "The Vet" created based on P. Gelliko’s novella "Thomasina. The Cat Who Thought She Was a Goddess" translated by N. Trauberg.

From the publisher:

The novella "Thomasina. The Cat Who Thought She Was a Goddess" was written in 1957. This is a captivating story about a strong person who knows how to love but cannot live; it is a fairy tale about a mysterious game of fate—between a person and that person’s fate. We will tell you about the amazing veterinarian Andrew McDewey, who didn’t like animals; about his little daughter Mary, who stopped speaking to her father, and about her beloved cat Thomasina; about the forest witch and Father Puddy the priest who believes in Kindness, Love, and Mercy; and about the mysterious and powerful cat Bast, nicknamed Taliﬁa.
