The Cats of Seroster is a children's fantasy novel by Robert Westall, [1] published in 1984 by Pan Books. The novel is set in "vaguely medieval France" [2] and is told in part from the perspective of domestic cats.
Eighteen-year-old Cam is tricked into completing an errand in the distant city of Seroster. Once there he gets mixed up in dangerous palace intrigue.
The novel received a dour reception. The Kirkus magazine concluded: "Despite some vividly imagined cat-world vignettes, then: a dense, demanding fable with only minor rewards." [2]
