Because I Knew You - Sophie Mouraux

Inspired by her cat Raphï, Because I Knew You — My Cat-tharsis is an illustrated story of love, resilience and joy, celebrating the extraordinary bonds between people and animals.

 All proceeds from this book go directly to DARG!

"She fitted into the palm of a hand. She would leave an extraordinary mark on a life."

When Raphï, a tiny ginger-and-white kitten, joins Sophie’s family, she brings mischief, companionship and a love that helps an unfamiliar world feel like home.

Then an unexpected goodbye changes everything.

In this intimate, illustrated true story, Sophie Mouraux shares the adventures, laughter and tenderness of life with Raphï, the heartbreak of losing her, and the kindness of a South African community that helped her carry that love forward.

Because I Knew You celebrates the animals who become part of our family, and the ways they change us long after their time beside us. Whether an animal is curled up next to you today or lives on in your memories, you may recognise something of your own story here. A story of love, resilience and joy. For the ones who leave pawprints on our lives.

Illustrated by Shahirah Wyne.
