Purrcy is an orange cat who lives in a rural neighborhood with an older couple and a big brown dog named Mobo, who is Purrcy’s best friend. One morning Purrcy wakes up restless and bored with his same old toys, same food, and everything that’s become so familiar. So he asks Mobo what the Great Outdoors is all about. The dog replies that a little cat wouldn't be safe outdoors. Horse kicks, Bee stings, Skunk sprays something worse than poo. The list goes on and on. Last of all, Mobo explains that Coyote would happily eat Purrcy for lunch. Nervous but determined to learn new things, Purrcy sneaks outside when Mobo leaves on a walk. The scents, sights and sounds excite him, and on his wanders he encounters the animals Mobo had warned him about. As he learns about each of them, he realizes that he’s lucky to have a home where he’s loved and cared for. Later, when he shares his adventures with Mobo, the dog replies that from now on he’ll try to walk in others’ paws or hooves and see life from their side. | Purrcy's Discovery by Eleanor Rogers, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
