  An original short novel written and copyrighted 1999 by Glenda W. Moore
  On the following pages is the story of an ordinary housecat who went on a Big Adventure. The story is a mixture of fantasy and "cold reality." I think you will find it to be entertaining, suspenseful, and heartwarming.

by The Cats Protection League Veterinary Officer

• Cat Killing a Bird
  The Audubon Society has identified  domestic and feral cats as significant contributors to the decline of song bird populations in the United States.
