The Adventures of Tory Cat



This imaginative story includes thirteen delightful color illustrations by dutch artist Hanneke Steenmetz.



In the whimsical world of Tory Cat an adventure is never far away. And that adventure comes when dear old Mrs. Pumplemouse is kidnapped. Tory Cat gathers her friend, Abigail Wentworth, a sleek black cat with attitude and her pooch pal Chow to go on a rescue mission. But there is a problem because this rescue mission requires a journey on the high seas and there's only one cat that can pull off such a dangerous voyage. That cat is Rex, the biggest and baddest cat of all. Even the dogs fear Rex, who outwits them in Poochville while playing a card game called Chat a Chien. But how can they get Rex to help them?



Tory Cat has a cast of memorable characters; cats who dine with crystal and candles, wear the latest fashions, spend lazy hours at Miss KitCat's beauty salon getting a Pussylick and Cut job or maybe going in for a deep tissue massage with Miss CheeChee. Other amusing personalities are: Colonel Blueberry, a mouse who believes he's a pilot from the Great War, detective Sniff Larou, and of course Mrs. Pumplemouse known for her tasty tea parties.



At the center of this amusing world is Tory Cat, a cuddly big orange tabby cat who loves her friends and always has a good word to say about everyone.
