When her grandfather tries to tame a stray cat, Jessica tells him, "You can't rush a cat." With patience and love, Jessica and her grandfather gradually win the little cat over, and by the last day of Jessica's visit, the cat comes and sits in her lap. Gentle tempera paintings with hints of the hiding cat complement the quiet story.
