Illustrated by
Hollie Mengert.
Dashing "cat about town" Luis and pampered housecat Tabitha fall in love at first sight. Their desire to be together is repeatedly thwarted; ultimately, Luis wins over Tabitha's owner with a daring act of heroism. Reminiscent both in plot and visual aesthetic of Disney's classic Lady and the Tramp, this feline star-crossed love story has a tongue-in-cheek humor that keeps it on the right side of sappy.
