How Gus Became a Desert Cat

By Christine Flanagan

For any family anticipating a move with a cat, Gus's tale will reassure parent and child alike that everything, despite some uncomfortable changes, will be all right in the end. In coming to live with his new mom, Gus soon filled her world with his big personality and penchant for adventure and creative napping. He had grown up in a small town in Pennsylvania and moved to metropolitan Washington, DC. But would he be ready for a 2,500-mile drive across the country to a new home in a place that couldn't be more different than the eastern forest he knew so well? Gus learns to walk on a leash, ride in the car, explore new places, and adapt to a new life. Told in his own words, Guss laments and enthusiasm for life will ring true with children of all ages.
