Oscar the Cat Finds a Home

Oscar longs for many things — but most­ly, he longs for a home … and mice!

So when the shop­keep­er says, “I’ve always want­ed a cat,” Oscar is cer­tain he’s found his home. He twists. He twines. He waits for night to fall …

… and fol­lows his whiskers straight into trouble.

From tan­gled yarn to top­pled flour bins, Oscar’s hunt­ing heart leaves chaos every­where he goes. One by one, the towns­peo­ple decide he isn’t the cat they want. Maybe Oscar just isn’t meant for peo­ple after all.

But beyond the busy streets, in a wide-open barn, where the mice scur­ry and the moon shines bright, Oscar dis­cov­ers some­thing won­der­ful: The very thing that stopped him from fit­ting in before might be exact­ly what makes him per­fect here — and per­fect­ly at home.
