Shadow and the tribe have made a decision: they’re leaving old Joseph’s house and searching for a new home. But there are many dangers on the streets for a tribe of stray cats (and a dog) who are no longer protected by four walls and a roof. Can Shadow still keep everyone together and bring up Sophia the kitten well, even though they’re now wild?

Cats Wild

Prowling through the undergrowth in front of me, Reeve reminds me of a true hunter. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone crouch and prepare for a pounce the way he does, and I watched Sapphire hunt mice in Joseph’s house. She’s excellent, but Reeve is a level above. 


 Keeping his body close to the ground, he turns his head to the side, sniffing the air. I hear a rustle. His eyes seem to gleam as he spots a feathered body through the leaves. 


 I know that because I see it too, but, by the time I’ve registered what it is, Reeve has darted forwards. His red body becomes a blur. 


 A second later, however, the bird flaps desperately out of the bush and Reeve slinks back around to me. The gleam is gone from his eyes. I tilt my head to the side, wondering what went wrong since, from my perspective, he did everything right.
