For a long time, the old gentleman and the cat got on so well, they couldn’t bear to be apart. But times change, and the cat is becoming more and more difficult to live with, turning the house upside down. The old gentleman decides the cat will have to go. He leaves the annoying animal outside his neighbour’s house, then on a lonely street corner, but the cat keeps coming back. Perhaps the old gentleman needs to take the cat further away? What about leaving it at the South Pole? It seems a good plan but it turns out that the heart itself moves in mysterious ways. A simple and affecting text, with illustrations full of deadpan humour.
