From the Inside Flap:
A story of the double life of the laziest cat in the world.
Fred is an adored family cat (now deceased) who slept all the time -- on the ironing board, on the laundry, on top of the fridge, on cars, and particularly on beds -- although he took a little time off to sit on laps and to eat. Only after his death do Sophie and Nick discover that, by night, he was the Elvis of the cat-world -- Famous Fred -- with hordes of devoted fans.
