Book-A-Day 67

One day a cat shows up at a librarian's house.  She has him come in and feeds him.  She begins to read to the cat and names him Stuart Little.  The cat then stops by an elderly man's house.  The man is lonely and appreciates the cat's company.  He names the cat Kitty-boy.  This cat also visits with others in the neighborhood.  Eventually, the cat has acquired the names of Placido, Mooch, Dove, and Mouse.  One day, a woman nearly runs over the cat with her car.  She is searching for him, her cat named Regis.  The Cat with Seven Names by Tony Johnston tells about a cat who is named (and loved) by many people.  The book also shows how the cat connects those people together.  #BookADay67
