A few months of a cat's life as told, with a fair degree of realism, from his point of view. The story was cute, however, the illustrations were wonderful.

Join Johansen has she takes us on a wonderful journey into a tomcat's life. Intended for grades3-7. Wonderfully written and so mischievous.

Felis, your average tomcat can talk, but his owners fail to understand him. Nevertheless he sticks around for their company and of course for yummy in the tummy. From mice sneaking through the house and other cats crossing the yard, Felis is always on the prowl.

Then one day a lovely female cat wonders into the yard. At first Felis is annoyed but she lures him into following her. The power of the female entices Felis to leave home. What adventure awaits Felis and his new companion? Will he find his humans again? There is a stanger living next door.
I guess you will have to read to find out, meow.
