| Publisher Description: Felix is a cat of extraordinary intelligence and with great enthusiasm, he explores all things, animal, vegetable, and human in his neighborhood. What deepens his thought is a shrine and the creed of its guardians. His adventures around the vicinity of Lake Constance often bring him into dangerous situations. He has the uncanny ability to make friends who appear and save him just in the nick of time. As a teenage cat, he chafes at the strict rules which he is told to observe. He believes a "liberated" kitten shouldn't have to be so shackled. Because of his endearing mannerism and cute tricks, he soon becomes the darling of the Shrine of "Our Lady of Victory" in the little village of Wigratzbad and of all the pilgrims as well. He asks about the Bavarian Shrine and Catholic teaching in an engaging way. He always tries to understand more completely what is explained to him. His best friend is a seminarian who becomes ordained and leaves Felix. His last order is to ensure that Felix becomes the 'official assistant' porter of the Seminary. Felix considers himself an expert in the CAT-e-chism, which he learns by heart as his little Marie memorizes it to prepare for her first HOLY COMMUNION. He considers it as his duty to know perfectly any CAT book. The charm and thoughts of our little feline bring the readers young and old into another world as seen by a furry four-footed 'soulmate.' |
