The Cat Who Decided
£5.99
Why does nobody want the mixter-maxter kitten?
The little stripey cat is on a journey. He is sent
from the farm to the city and passed from owner to owner. No one seems to love him for just being him.
Once he moves into the tall house in Edinburgh and finds his name Mac life gets more interesting. He makes friends with two musical ladies next door and discovers he likes Bach ... and cat treats. He explores, and has many adventures.
Then, just when he starts to feel settled, unsettling things start to happen. Will he ever find someone to love him for always?
Reviews

-- Cathy MacDonald on Sunday Morning with Cathy MacDonald, BBC Scotland
'An ideal read-aloud, told with gentle humour and genuine respect for a cat who was very special. Forrester entwines stories of several generations with humour and affection.'
-- Lindsey Fraser, Sunday Herald

-- Carousel - The Guide to Children's Books, Summer 2008
'This is just a charming story for young cat lovers! ... It is a humorous, feel-good tale and is based on an almost true story.'

'This is a very gentle story about a cat in search of a permanent owner... With its soft lilting brogue, it is a perfect bedtime read for children who love animals and secure endings.'
