London hasnt 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 wont hear of it. One day, as Peter is walking out the door, he sees a truck bearing down on a tabby. Dashing out to save the cat, he is struck by the oncoming truck himself.Everything is different when Peter comes to: He has fur, whiskers, and claws; he has become a cat himself! But London isnt 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 challengesand not all of them are from the dangerous outside worldin their struggle to find a place that is truly home.
