Cilla and Betto are two stray cats living on the streets of Malta, leading lazy, mundane, and monotonous lives. While Betto is content with things as they are, Cilla longs for a better life in the mythical "quiet garden" where all cats are welcome. Not wanting her to attempt the journey on her own, Betto accompanies Cilla on the long and treacherous journey in search of the better place. Their journey includes several homages to classic art, making this as much a book for art history lovers as for cat lovers.
