Individuals from Melbourne’s business and sporting communities came together earlier this month to celebrate the launch of Dolly the Bathtub Cat, written by O’Neal and illustrated by Louise Wills. 

Inspired by O’Neal's own rescue cat, named after Dolly Parton, the book follows a fiercely independent cat and the special friendship between a child and her feline companion. 

Dolly the Bathtub Cat grew from O’Neal's love of reading and belief in education’s power to transform lives
