Publisher Description

A classic feline fairytale set in England about a boy who transforms into a cat following a tragic incident—from the author of The Snow Goose and Mrs. ‘Arris Goes to Paris
 
London hasn’t been kind to Peter, a lonely boy whose parents are always out at parties, and though Peter would love to have a cat for company, his nanny won’t hear of it. One day, Peter sees a striped kitten in the park across from his house. Crossing the road on his way to the tabby, he is struck by a truck.

Everything is different when Peter comes to: He has fur, whiskers, and claws; he has become a cat himself! But London isn’t any kinder to cats than it is to children. Jennie, a savvy stray who takes charge of Peter, knows that all too well. Jennie schools young Peter in the ways of cats, including how to sniff out a nice napping spot, the proper way to dine on mouse, and the single most important tactic a cat can learn: “When in doubt, wash.” Jennie and Peter will face many challenges—and not all of them are from the dangerous outside world—in their struggle to find a place that is truly home.

The Abandoned by Paul Gallico

This is one of my favorite books of all the many I've read in my 74 years of reading, I'm now 79. I've lost track of how many times I've read it. It always makes me happy.
