|summary=There's a lone cat who lives at the top of a hill near a seaside town ~~in Michael Foreman's 'Cat on the Hill'~~. 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?

~~In 'Cat on the Hill', the~~ The story is told through the eyes of the nameless cat. ~~The story~~ It starts in Summer when he tells how he loves living at the top of the hill with its tremendous views of the sea and the constant visitors who are only too happy to share their sandwiches and the drips from their ice creams. Life is good even with horrible squawky gulls trying to steal his food. He explains how he used to be a ship's cat until both the skipper and the ship became too old to sail the seas.

The story moves on to Autumn and, although it is getting colder and there are fewer visitors, the cat still gets by through visiting the town at night and finding scraps from outside the bakery or from dropped takeaways. However, when the story moves on to Winter, life is hard and the poor cat feels starving. Chased away by the aggressive town cats, he finds nothing to eat. It's even worse when snow starts falling. Luckily, there is at least one kind soul about who comes and saves the day.
