Description

The last little cat was born in a kennel, surrounded by dogs and dog cages and dog noises. The little cat was always half cold and half hungry - until the day it fell into the cage of the old, blind dog. Then, for a while, the last little cat was warm, and the last little cat was well fed. But how could such a small cat know that barn doors are closed at night and that there are people in the world who do not want to help a helpless kitten?

The last little cat was born in a kennel, surrounded by dogs and dog cages and dog noises. The little cat was always half cold and half hungry - until the day it fell into the cage of the old, blind dog.

Then, for a while, the last little cat was warm, and the last little cat was well fed. But how could such a small cat know that barn doors are closed at night and that there are people in the world who do not want to help a helpless kitten?

This is a story of how the last little cat found a home, and not only a home, but the perfect home.
I bought this book on impulse, and I am glad I did! The author tells the story of a little kitten that is last, and unwanted, and lonely. DeJong uses a sing-song style of writing that is pleasant to read. I'm keeping this one.
This story is about a little cat who gets out of the barn and gets lost. Follow his adventures as he goes to seven houses in search of his way back home. - Josiah age 11
One of the most darling and adorable stories!!!
