Product Description

"Catwalk, A Feline Odyssey" is the story of Tiger, a young, comfort-loving tabby cat, the cherished pet of Sam and Beth, a young newlywed couple. Then trouble strikes in the form of Donna, the couple's new baby. Feeling neglected and more than a little jealous, Tiger misbehaves and is soon relegated to being an outdooor cat. When she herself becomes pregnant, Beth insists she be disposed of, so Sam drops her off at a nearby industrial park. Alone, and with her babies due any minute, Tiger suddenly finds herself adrift in a big, impersonal, and occasionally hostile world. Her odyssey ultimately takes her halfway across the continent, and brings her in contact with such diverse characters as a feminist warehouse worker, a Cajun fisherman, a game warden and his wife, a trio of hoboes, and a Mexican-American family. She is befriended by many, abused by some, but her indomitable spirit always carries her through. Her struggle for survival and her search for home and family is a story animal lovers of all ages will want to read and share.

5.0 out of 5 stars On the Road with a very clever cat, September 25, 2004

By	Catresea Ann Canivan "CatAnna" (NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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 :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Catwalk, September 22, 2004

By	J. shaffer - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
