About the Book Accompany Rufus the cat on his six-month, 44-block, 75,000-step journey from Skyline Avenue in Jumbo Gardens to Lake Street at the waterfront. Discover his reasons for attempting this monumental trek and join the celebration at its successful conclusion. Watch him cope with rain, snow, sleet, wind, crows, traffic, unfriendly dogs and eccentric people. Meet the cats and humans who sheltered and encouraged Rufus, as well as those who told him he hadn't a hope. Visit the Bughouse Bar and Grill and try some quality Colombian catnip, sent up from Medellin by Juan Escobar, well-known cat fancier and youngest son of the infamous Pablo. This evening, join Rufus, Guinevere, the widow Agrippa and Theo the coffinmaker on Venetia's balcony for a glass of wine.
