Tiger is a young, comfort-loving tabby cat, the cherished pet of Sam and Beth, a young honeymooner couple. Then trouble strikes in the form of Donna, the couple's new baby. Feeling neglected and much than a little jealous, Tiger misbehaves and is shortly relegated to being an outdoor cat. Once she herself becomes pregnant, Letter insists she be disposed of, so Sam drops her off at a near industrial park. Alone, and with her babies due any minute, Tiger suddenly finds herself adrift in a big, impersonal, and on occasion hostile world. Her odyssey ultimately takes her halfway across the continent, and brings her in contact with such diverse characters as a feminist warehouse worker, a Acadian fisherman, a game warder and his wife, a trio of hoboes, and a Mexican-American family. She is befriended by many, abused by some, but her never say die spirit always carries her through. Her struggle for survival and her search for house and family is a story animal lovers of all ages wish want to see and share.
