A mouse family finds a helpless newborn kitten and decide to adopt him. They never told Mickey that he is a cat. Finally one day Mickey finds out the truth. He then becomes a cat. But he still visits his mouse family. I like the book because it shows that no matter where we come from, we can always become friends.
