The Nomad of the Nine Lives

A gentle, witty memoir unfolds through the eyes of a cat who decides to record his own adventures for a curious nephew. From a dim cardboard box to the warm backroom of a bustling provision store, the narrator recounts his early days under the watchful, protective paws of his mother. Their tiny world is filled with the smells of fresh meat, the thrill of sunlight spilling through a garden door, and the quiet lessons about which creatures are safe to hunt.

As the kittens grow, they experience the kindness and harshness of human owners, the bustling life of a shop, and the ever‑present threat of abandonment. The cat’s reflections blend humor with a heartfelt plea for the welfare of animal companions, offering listeners a glimpse into feline perception of love, survival, and the small dramas of everyday life. This charming first act invites you to see the world from a cat’s perspective, celebrating the bond between pets and people while hinting at the larger journeys that lie ahead.
