Spoken Cat (was Brithenig)

I checked this out on Amazon.com. Spoken Cat was not listed.
How To Speak Cat was: apparently, this is the abbreviated American
Version. Spoken Cat is the expanded version available in Britain.
It figures!
Critics give high marks to this book by Alexandra Sellers, who is
apparently a linguist originally, but also the author of a number
of other books. They say it gently mocks cats, cat lovers, and
language.
I wonder what they took out in How To Speak Cat.
