Description

A mischievous yet tender voice spills out from the paws of a Boston kitten who claims to have lived a full eighteen years. From his humble birth in a clothes‑basket to the early lessons of self‑reliance taught by a striking mother cat with “white feet,” the narrative rolls through first‑day adventures, sunny windowsills and the simple delights of chasing shadows. The storyteller’s humor shines as he describes the world from a low, whiskered perspective, turning ordinary household moments into vivid vignettes that feel both nostalgic and fresh.

Beyond the charming anecdotes, the cat’s memoir carries a quiet urgency, shining a light on the everyday cruelties faced by domestic felines and urging compassion for all “dumb” animals. Each episode blends gentle wit with heartfelt advocacy, offering listeners a blend of entertainment and moral reflection. The tone remains warm and conversational, making it a soothing companion for anyone who has ever loved a pet or wondered what a cat might say if it could write its own story.
