Book Cover & Preview Text
For you see I have a pretty brown coat which I try to keep very clean. But as hard as I try to keep myself clean and look nice. . . still nobody loves me. Do you think it’s because I’m different? Oh yes, I have four paws, a long wiggle tail and thin sleek whiskers – but I’m still different.
Sometimes when I’m at the park, I watch other cats with their human friends. Sometimes they wind in and out of their friends’ legs, sometimes they chase a play mouse, other times they jump in the air to catch dragonflies and they are different-They make this strange sort of humming rumbling sound deep inside of them.

Many years ago my daughter’s cat had a litter of kitten under her bed. We could hear the soft purring of the mother cat as she lovingly cared for her babies. I was asked, “What makes a cat purr, mother?” I answered, “Love, Lisa, you are hearing the sound of love.”
This book is a delightful and heartwarming tale of an abandoned cat. Follow Cat as she discovers that she isn’t like the other cats. She doesn’t make this funny rumbling sound. What must Cat do to find love? How will she find her purr?
