Illustrated by
Tom Pohrt.
Abandoned feline Rachet adapts to the feral cats of Roxville Station--and cautiously bonds with Mike, an orphan boy. After clawing her way to top-cat rank at the station, Rachet becomes Mike's "outside pet." Meanwhile, in George's practiced manner, the other cats go their various ways, all easily followed in Pohrt's bird's-eye view of the town and seen close-up in his drawings.
