# It is heavily implied in the preface of the book.
Would you care for me to demonstrate?

# Well, let us take the fact that he was interned as a surgeon.
Although cats are awesome at cutting this out and open, they suck at doing people up again.

Also, he talks of his family moving from Oxfordshire to Nottinghamshire, Newark in particular.

Also, he travelled the world and COULD FUCKING TALK! Not to mention being able to write his memoirs out for the publisher, Richard Sympson.

I could well believe that a memoir-writing surgeon-cat would be plausible.
