This is a wonderful love story! It may not seem that way in the beginning, told from the viewpoint of a small boy. He is hit by a car and suddenly finds he's been turned into a tomcat! The adventure of learning how to be a cat begins. I first read this book when I was 12 and continue to enjoy returning and reading it again. (that's been 37 years!) I loaned my copy to a friend and now it's been gone forever!
