Summary:
In an ancient city there was a cat who was worshiped as a god.  He was pampered and petted, not allowed to do anything for himself, attended by servants day and night.  One night he escaped.  The cat who was worshiped wanted something else, something less, or maybe, something more.  He found a place to sleep, a simple meal and children who loved him.  This book is illustrated in full color by Kate Keisler
