			{{TUC}} is a humour book - a small, brief book meant to amuse readers in the kinds of situations where now we’d pull out out phone. [[Terry Pratchett]] co-wrote it with cartoonist [[Gray Joliffe]], who also illustrated the original edition. The title is a play on the [[wikipedia:Campaign for Real Ale\|Campaign for Real Ale]] (CAMRA), an organisation which promotes traditional beers and protests the homogenisation of beer production in the UK. In a similar (if not exactly serious) way, this book claims to push for “real” (i.e. badly behaved) cats. After two paperback editions from Gollancz, it was republished in miniature hardcover by Orion Books in 2002, and again in 2023, the latter time as a tie-in to the film {{TAMF}}.

			'''From bestselling author Terry Pratchett, everything you need to know to identify the real, unadulterated cat.’''

			The Unadulterated Cat is becoming an endangered species as more and more of us settle for those boring mass-produced cats the ad-men sell us – the pussies that purr into their gold-plated food bowls on the telly. But the Campaign for Real Cats sets out to change all that by helping us to recognise a true, unadulterated cat when we see one.

			For example: real cats have ears that look like they’ve been trimmed with pinking shears; real cats never wear flea collars… or appear on Christmas cards… or chase anything with a bell in it; real cats do eat quiche. And giblets. And butter. And anything else left on the table, if they think they can get away with it. Real cats can hear a fridge door opening two rooms away…
