Dave lives with his father and his asthmatic mother and her attacks worsen when Dave and his father have their frequent arguments. Dave's refuge after a clash with his father is with Kate, an elderly neighbor whose apartment is filled with the stray cats she loves. Dave adopts one of the cats, names it Cat and takes him home. Cat brings both joy and adventure into Dave's life. The book won the Newbery Medal for excellence in American children's literature in 1964.
Superb. The best junior novel I've ever read about big-city life. -- The New York Times.
