“Though Aimed At Juvenile Readers, Fun For All Ages.”

An alien spacecraft explodes in space, and then enters into our atmosphere, and crashes into the sea near a small village. An alien Pet is ejected as it’s falling, and when the cage accidentally opened as it hits rocks, the shape shifter hides within the rocks. It’s not long before a woman and her pet cat walk along the beach looking for items the night’s storm may have washed on shore. The cat, TC, sniffs out the alien pet, and the creature quickly assumes its shape before the woman finds it. Thinking it’s a poor stray cat washed up from the sea, the woman takes it home with her. Now, the alien cat attempts to fit in, learning how to act like a cat. Meanwhile the crew of the disabled spaceship have been rescued, and now they’re looking for their pet. And the military has discovered the alien cage it arrived in, and know it’s not of this world. Fearing a possible virus or something equally deadly, they quarantine the village and start a door-to-door search, taking all the animals for testing.

This was a short, but fun little tale, and though aimed at juvenile readers, all ages will like it. A cat person’s delight. Highly recommended for any animal lover.
