Peter Gether's The Cat Who Went to Paris, and his 2nd book, A Cat Abroad. Both Peter and Norton, his cat, are food lovers and you will get interesting accounts of his travels and gastronomic adventures with his feline companion.

I cried my eyes out while reading his narrative of Norton's last days. And let me say this, its not easy to make me shed a single tear. -

Wait till I've settled down somewhat though... lots for me to attend to right now. Not in the frame of mind to read anything longer than a magazine article. -

You can always place a reservation for the book that you want at any National Library. I think you only need to pay $1.50, thereabouts, for that service.
You could also try the 2nd hand bookshops. I think rentals are anywhere from $4 onwards?
And, books warehouse sales are very worthwhile! It's amazing what you can get there! Sometimes, new titles are released for a small fraction of their retail price! -
