Muse: A Cat's Story

by Joanna Franklin Bell

Muse is a young cat whose mind has a special power, but she feels trapped living her life as a stray in the big city. With no memories of her kittenhood, she is haunted by dreams of the countryside, and she begins to wonder if the country is her real home.


Two other stray city cats befriend Muse, and each of them has its own journey to make as well. Together, they embark on an adventure to discover what it means to be home, to find peace, to experience joy, love, loss, and acceptance, and to experience a wild ride along the way.


Will Muse's unique abilities help or hinder her on her quest? Will she find the dream she's looking for?

This is a children's book. A sweet but short story. I liked it very much. I personally give it give stars.

Think I chose this 168 page Kindle book because of the title, not realising that it is a young readers' book. The story of Muse - the silent cat - who becomes a street cat and keeps dreaming of the country, a very specific spot in the country. This is the story of her journey home and reunion with her family. A sweet tale that took me about 30 minutes to read while I was waiting for my husband.

Perfect snuggle book to read with my son. Adventure, love, & humor, all wrapped up in a story told from the perspective of a cat. I loved it!

FYI: 98% of calico cats are female. The males are sterile.
