About the Author

Catwalk cat book
"Catwalk" is the story of a young, comfort-loving tabby cat who, for reasons she cannot possibly understand, suddenly finds herself adrift in a big and sometimes dangerous world.

Her odyssey ultimately takes her halfway across the continent, and brings her in contact with such diverse characters as a Cajun fisherman, a game warden and his wife, a trio of hoboes, and a Mexican-American family.

She is befriended by many, abused by a few, but her indomitable spirit always carries her through. Her struggle for survival and her search for home and family is a story animal lovers of all ages will want to read and share.

Tired of your dog-eat-dog world? Escape to Tiger's world and be a cat for a change.

Remember the first time you held a cat in your lap? How soft and warm it felt? How silky its fur was when you stroked it? Remember how thrilled you were when it started purring?

Now, imagine for a moment that you are that cat. You're safe, secure, comfortable. You are loved. Feels good, right? Now imagine how you feel when an intruder enters your paradise, steals that love and pushes you out of your place.

You're angry, hurt, and yes, jealous. So you do something to get attention, maybe something you shouldn't have done. Now you're out on the street, cold, alone, unloved.

Where can you go? What do you do? Who will help you now? This is Tiger's story. So pull up a chair, get comfortable, and start reading.

From Chapter 1

catwalk chapter1

When they finally let me out again the transformation was astounding! Red and gold and silver ornaments dangled from every branch, and a parade of colored lights blinked on and off. The exotic smell filled the apartment and excited my curiosity, but when I chewed one of the branches it tasted awful and made me sick. I swatted at one of the red balls, but much to my disappointment it didn't come off this time. It was tied on with a piece of yarn instead of a hook.

From Chapter 2

catwalk chapter2

I meowed at the door, but there was no answer. I meowed a bit louder. Still no response. I stood on my hind legs and scratched on the screen door as high as I could reach, but still no one came. I climbed almost to the top of the door, searching for any kind of an opening, but there was none. No way in at all. Things did not look good.

What Readers are Saying:

In CATWALK, Kathie Freeman's descriptive prose has the reader pulling for Tiger, a much-traveled and plucky cat in this picaresque tale of one cat's struggle for survival. As Tiger is caught up in the uncertainties of life, Freeman paints a graphic picture of the precarious life of too many of our feline companions who find themselves either lost or abandoned. Fortunately, Tiger has the inner strength and good fortune to make it on her own, and CATWALK comes to a happy and unexpected conclusion. ~Victor DiGenti, author of Windrusher and the Trail of Fire

From Allbooks:

Catwalk is the story of Tiger, a tabby cat. Her owners have a new baby and Tiger feels neglected and ignored. Soon she begins living outdoors more and more and finds herself alone in the great big world.
Tiger meets many friends as she journeys across the continent, some are nice and some are not but she manages to survive.
A sweet tale for children, especially those with cats of their own. It is written from the cat’s perspective and this adds to the story. This book is available in ebook as well as printed versions. Watch for the sequel.
Recommended by reviewer Haley Hodge, Allbooks Review. Jan. 2008

From Amazon.com:

A lost cat finds her way back home., September 25, 2004
Reviewer: friendofthemovies "friendofthemovies" (new york)
Kathie Freeman has the extradordinary skill of placing the reader inside a cat's head. This adventure story is for anyone who likes adventurs and a cat's. All the book characters are have a unique personality that propell Tiger through a learning experience that eventually brings Tiger home. --This text refers to the Unknown Binding edition

On the Road with a very clever cat, September 25, 2004
Reviewer: Catresea Ann Canivan
If you like cats and adventure stories, this is the book for you! Kathie Freeman has created a spunky feline protagonist that you can't help but root for and a colorful world of natural and human wonders for her to explore. Touching, funny, wise & unique - I've never read a book quite like this. I didn't want it to end and hope Ms Freeman writes a sequel :-)

Catwalk To Go, September 23, 2004
Reviewer: T. Smith (Knoxville,Tn USA)
I read the full story online when it was published one chapter a month and enjoyed it so much that I bought the print version. I highly recommend this book for all Cat Lovers.

Catwalk, September 23, 2004
Reviewer: J. shaffer
This is an excellent story of the events in the life of a cat, both the good and the bad. I closely describes events that actuall happen to many cats, and is told strictly from the cat's perspective. I highly recommend this book.

Direct testimomials:

"I just picked up your book and read it in two sittings - great story!" Lowell H. - Erie, Penn.

"It was so true to life! I could really believe a cat actually wrote it." James N. - Boston, Mass.

"I had planned to read your book in my spare time this week, but my roommate got a hold of it and read it in three evenings. I just now got it back, and so far I love it!" Heather L. - Chattanooga, Tenn.

"Just a note to let you know I have really enjoyed reading your book. I can not believe I am on chapter 18 already. Thank you, Tina T."

"Catwalk is great. My wife and I enjoyed every chapter. We loved the ending. It's amazing what a determined cat can do to get back to the people who care." John C. New York

So, what are you going to be doing with your evenings for the next couple of weeks? Watching "Survivor" reruns on TV? Chasing the dust bunnies under the refrigerator? Listening to the washing machine hum? Yakking on the phone with that chick from gym class that you don't really like anyway? Wouldn't you rather be following Tiger on her journey of adventure and discovery?
