Prince's Cat Tale:
The once pristine beauty of the woodland was soon to be a sprawling housing development. Desperate to locate a safe haven for the upcoming birth of her babies, Prince's mother, a feral cat, finds a porch at a kind lady's home. Her litter inclludes Sunny, Mary, Ann, and, of course, Prince. Life was rosy and wonderful...
One day, as Sunny and Prince are happily catnapping in their favorite drain, a violent rainstorm splits the two siblings apart, carrying Prince into the creek, far away from home. Adrift and alone, Prince eventually adapts to creek life, but fears he will spend the rest of his life alone... that is, until he meets Cocoa, a clever abandoned cat; and together, they team up, hunting and living as buddies.
When Prince and Cocoa stumble upon a human dwelling, the young stray cat reminisces of the loving home he used to know. But who are these humans? Will Prince ever find his human mother and see his cat family again? Author Mary Elizabeth Siske McManaway invites you to open up Prince's Cat Tale and find out!
