About the book: 1992 / The book "Give the cat the floor" consists of stories and novellas written at different times and in different genres, but it is united in thought and compositionally. The image of the heroine runs through the entire book, who quite early found her calling, which she managed to carry throughout her life. If at the beginning of the book - in the story "Rain" - a ninth-grader is shown, in whom creativity is just awakening, then in subsequent stories and stories the heroine’s “special vision” is revealed. Her observations are always unique because they are personal. Due to her specialty (the heroine is a biologist), she observes everything that happens around: in the forest, in the river, in the clearing and at home. And there is a cat at home. First one, then the second. The stories about these two cats, Uta and Kota, are stories, on the one hand, of an ordinary cat lover, and on the other hand, they are a close observation of a biologist, at first unconscious, then more and more aimed at penetrating inside, into the depths of the life of the animal that lives nearby and which you can know and study.
