Cats Home

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.

After spending so much time on their own and living as strays, Shadow and the tribe have started to consider settling down in a home again. Although they've been able to forge friendships with Reeve, Maria and Spot, it's just not the same as when they used to live with old Joseph. Sophia is continuing to grow closer and closer towards becoming an adult cat, and Shadow struggles with whether to keep her close or let her become independent – what would her mother want?

After their triumph over the volatile stray cats who tormented them while they were trying to survive on the streets, the tribe's thoughts return to where they can live out their lives in peace. One threat might have disappeared, but there is always the chance that they could run into more problems while they're without a house or an owner.

Still, those aren't easy to come by and Shadow struggles to handle rising tensions between Reeve, who is accustomed to the wild life, and Ruby, who seems to be missing having a stable home a little bit more than everyone else recently. There may be a potential place for the tribe to rest on the horizon, but the path there won't be easy and, if the others find a haven before Shadow, will he realise that they actually don't need him there at all?

Cats Home is the final entry in Oskar Leonard's trilogy, the Cats Collection. The first book, Cats Alone, was originally published under the name 'K.M. Leonard'. Finishing off the trilogy's emotional narrative, Cats Home explores the difficulties sometimes experienced when independence and family seem to oppose each other, but also the unwavering love and respect which exist within family units, as shown by Shadow's tribe.
