A beautiful and tragic story about a black cat whom is considered back in the WW2 times to bring good luck.
This cat is no ordinary cat, however. She goes through so many things. You see things from her eyes whilst during World War 2. She visits many towns, goes through many owners and people who take care of her along the way. She endures bombs, raids, gun shells, temporary blindness and deafness. She becomes a mother, she saves people, places, other animals, hunts and is an awesome and seemingly magical cat. She brings good luck to all who meet her.

This story may make you look at your cat in a different light. It brought me a great appreciation to the feline species and a birds-eye view into their lives, in how they might think and feel.
This is a unique storyline, set in a unique time frame. I couldn't get enough of this little gem. Wonderful book
