In the spirit of A Street Cat Named Bob and Dewey comes a mothers touching, true account of how a rescue cat named Billy transformed her autistic boys life.Louise Booth and her husband had always dreamed of having a child. But when their son Fraser was born, Louise immediately knew something was wrong. Fraser was an angry child, prone to frequent screaming fits. When the family moved to the Balmoral Estate (Queen Elizabeths summer residence), where Louises husband had been hired to be the Queens electrician, Louise plummeted into depression, worn down by her sons constant needs. At eighteen months, Fraser was diagnosed with autism and hypotonia, a muscle tone condition that affected his ability to walk and use his hands. Louise and her husband Chris were given the devastating news that Fraser would never go to a mainstream school, and it seemed all hope was lost.Then came Billy. A grey cat whod been found in an abandoned house and left at a shelter, Billy came home with the family, purred, and laid his paws across Frasers lap. The two became inseparable from that moment on, and slowly but surely, Billy transformed Frasers life.Within two years of Billy joining their family, Louise watched her son evolve from being a toddler prone to anxiety, tantrums, and sudden emotional meltdowns into a much calmer, less moody child with a bright future. In their home on the beautiful Balmoral Estate, Billy still acts as Frasers guardian, never leaving his side at mealtimes and bedtimes or whenever hes feeling low. Their profound bond has immeasurably improved both their lives and the familys, bringing them countless hilarious and touching moments along the way.A Sunday Times bestseller in the UK, When Fraser Met Billy is a story of quiet, enigmatic triumph (The Daily Mail), a powerful testament to a familys love for their child, and a treat for animal lovers everywhere.
