While walking in the desert, the Cat and his animal friends land in trouble; among the passersby, only the Cat's mortal enemy, snake Del Moore, offers help. It's no surprise that the unequivocal message (of forgiveness) and the easygoing but right-on-the-beat rhymes, illustrated with dignified humor, call to mind a country song: the author is the Man in Black's son.
