If you like cats and adventure stories, this is the book for you! Kathie Freeman has created a spunky feline protagonist that you can't help but root for and a colorful world of natural and human wonders for her to explore. Touching, funny, wise & unique - I've never read a book quite like this. I didn't want it to end and hope Ms Freeman writes a sequel :-)

I read the full story online when it was published one chapter a month and enjoyed it so much that I bought the print version. I highly recommend this book for all Cat Lovers.

This is an excellent story of the events in the life of a cat, both the good and the bad. I closely describes events that actuall happen to many cats, and is told strictly from the cat's perspective. I highly recommend this book.

This is a lovely book every cat lover should read. Catwalk follows the journey of a gray tabby female cat, and is told in her own words. She is known by various names by the people she encounters throughout the story. I was angered and horrified at the beginning when she is bought only to be dumped later when caring for her is no longer convenient (or appealing). Join her as she walks with a number of people, including a very kind homeless man, in her quest to return to her true home, and her people. I was surprised by the ending, but definitely not disappointed.

In CATWALK, Kathie Freeman's descriptive prose has the reader pulling for Tiger, a much-traveled and plucky cat in this picaresque tale of one cat's struggle for survival. As Tiger is caught up in the uncertainties of life, Freeman paints a graphic picture of the precarious life of too many of our feline companions who find themselves either lost or abandoned. Fortunately, Tiger has the inner strength and good fortune to make it on her own, and CATWALK comes to a happy and unexpected conclusion.

A little tabby is disgarded by her owners, and then she happens upon people who care for her. She is taken on an inadvertent cross-country trip, and travels though swamps, a circus, the desert, and meets many different creatures as she tries to get back to her friends.
On her journey she meets a poacher, a sherif, a hobo, law enforcement, and a very nice family in western Texas. I did truly enjoy this book.

I had the exquisite pleasure of reviewing Catwalk: A Feline Odyssey by Kathie Freeman. I have always had a soft spot for cats and still do to this day. I am definitely what you would call a cat-lover. Anyone who feels the way I do about cats will absolutely love this book.

Catwalk is a story that follows a tabby cat named Tiger; from the beginning when she was taken in by a newlywed couple as a kitten to her struggle for survival and her search for home. This book will appeal to all animal lovers and people of all ages.

Although I wanted to wring the necks of those who hurt poor Tiger, I was also riveted by her story of trying to keep herself and her babies safe and warm and fed. Tiger ends up meeting a variety of characters along her journey including a Cajun fisherman who gets caught by a local game warden, a trio of hoboes, a circus crew, and also a pair of warehouse workers who want to give her a home.

I really loved this book. This story was sad at times but yet spunky Tiger always manages to carry on despite adversity and danger. I just wanted to take Tiger in and keep her safe! Kathie Freeman obviously knows cats and their behavior as her writing and description of cats and their characteristics was spot-on. Ms. Freeman manages to take the reader right into the world of Tiger and show us her perspective on things around her, nice or not. This book will capture your heart and make you wish Tiger the safety and comfort of a loving forever home. I would highly recommend Catwalk: A Feline Odyssey to anyone.

Looks like this book was self published. Did not see name of publisher. Who ever edited this, did not check for typos. Not professional. The word carpet which was in the first chapter was not spelled correctly. Looked like it was typed on a typewriter...odd. Book was okay. Figured out the ending. Didn't finish it. To sad.
