A cult classic of dark comic humour, this first edition presents Simon Bond's deadpan cartoon catalogue of increasingly absurd and macabre "uses" for a dead cat — doorstops, hairpieces, freight cargo, and more. First published in 1981, the book was a bestseller that spawned multiple sequels and sold over two million copies worldwide. This copy was printed in Australia by Griffin Press, Netley, S.A.
