Description

A bold and self-serving tom cat reigns supreme both in the farmyard in Italy where he was born and later in the comfortable home in Germany to which a vacationing couple takes him and his helpless sister.

I'm very proud of myself for having read a whole book in German. Lovely story, such insight into the behaviour of people who let cats into their lives (sometimes begrudgingly). And the illustrations are great (really, I only bought it for the illustrations)
