IT'S LIKE THIS, CAT tells the coming-of-age story of Dave Mitchell, a sensitive 14-year-old boy growing up in New York in the early 1960s. Dave is an only child who fights with his father. His confidant is "Aunt Kate," the crazy cat lady down the street. When "Aunt Kate" introduces Dave to Cat, an orange-striped tomcat, he suddenly has a new best friend who accompanies him everywhere.
A classic tale of a young man growing up, believably and poignantly told, IT'S LIKE THIS, CAT won the 1964 Newbery Award.
