Meet Uncle Frank: a painter and modern shaman who has discovered an unusual gift - he can communicate telepathically with cats.

From alley cats to circus performers, abandoned kittens and feral hunters, Frank encounters an array of felines who teach him their own unique perspectives on life. Through their companionship, he begins to uncover a hidden world.

Venturing across England's countryside, Frank searches for the rare Scottish wildcat in the remote Highlands. But the countryside holds many secrets, and through the eyes of his feline companions, Frank finds both great cruelty and great beauty.

Ian Taylor's WILDCAT BY THE WATER is an exploration of humanity's bond with the animal kingdom, and a call to rediscover the enchantment of the wild.
