|summary=There's a lone cat who lives at the top of a hill near a seaside town. This cat is a survivor which is not too difficult in the summer months when there are many visitors around to feed him scraps. However, in the winter it is a different matter when offerings are sparse and he has to contend with all the rough, tough neighbourhood cats. How will he survive?

One slight concern that I had when I was reading the book with my daughter was that the cat keeps referring to a 'damned dog'. This is not an expression that I would use and certainly not one that I would wish my daughter to pick up on and start using because she had read it in a book. The expression seems quite out of place and unnecessary in a book that is aimed at young children. This is such a shame because the rest of the book and the sentiments conveyed are really rather lovely.
