The secret lives and loves of cats are revealed in
this adventurous novel that peeks into a year in the
life of the mischievous feline Adrian Cat. Adrian is
having trouble keeping his new year's resolutions
(especially "I will not be condescending to my
humans"), and he's also adjusting to the fact
that his humans have a new baby, his best friend
needs constant advice, and he's in love for the
first time—with the angelic-seeming Snowball. When
Snowball turns out to be less than perfect and tries
to lead Adrian into organized crime, he refuses to
follow her and instead joins up with a scruffy yet
tender alley cat named Gypsy. After Snowball's gang
runs Adrian out of town, he is forced to make some
strange friends and travel a rough road in order to
get home safely to his family and to his new love,
Gypsy.
