The book It's Like This Cat by Emily Neville and is 180 pages long. Has a setting located in various parts of New York like Coney Island and Manhattan, New York during the Summer. It is about a teenager who got a cat to annoy his father because his dad likes dogs. The cat changes his whole life by letting him find new friends and break up with the old. Meeting the cat is a very important event.
The main character is Dave; he goes to middle school and owns a cat. Dave's cat's name is Cat and his best friend is Nick. Cat is also a main character because the whole story is based on him. Cat is a stray tomcat that Dave receives from an elderly friend. Tom is the last main character because everyone is trying to help him because he helped Dave and is homeless. Tom helped get Cat out of a cage in the apartment basement.
The other characters are Nick who is Dave's best friend until cat comes. Then there is Kate, She is an old lady who likes cats and takes care of stray cats and is the one who gives Dave the cat. There is Dave's mother who is a housewife and his father is a lawyer. Hilda is Tom's girlfriend and Mary is Dave's girlfriend. There is also a blonde and a red haired girl. Last there is Ben who is in Dave's Biology class.
There are many parts in the book. At first Kate gives Dave a stray tomcat. Then one day the cat runs away from home Dave has to look for him. The look for Cat leads Dave into a basement in which he finds cat locked up in a cage. At the basement he meets a man that helps him get cat out of the cage.
A few days later he and his friend go to Coney Island. There they meet the blonde, the red-haired girl and Mary. Dave and Nick play with the girls. Soon they decide that they want to go to the movies Dave says that he can't because he needs to take Cat back home. A week later after going to the movies with the girls and Nick, Dave and Nick get into a fight, which causes them to break up because Cat is always taking up Dave's time and nick doesn't like it.
Two days later Dave meets up with Tom and goes to the park with him. Then Cat gets into a catfight and gets wounded very badly. Dave then takes Cat to the vet to get stitches and to get fixed. After cat was good again Dave went to the music store and met Mary. Dave fell in love with her.
During the summer when Dave was on a trip cat jumps out of the car and ruins Dave's trip. Dave has to carry cat home to Manhattan. At Kate's house he meets his mother and father because they canceled the trip.
Afterwards, he makes friends with a boy named Ben and goes to the fish market to buy fish for Cat. The next day Ben catches two salamanders but cat eats one, on Columbus Day Dave and Mary go to Coney Island on a date there they say that they will meet on another day at the golf courts.
Some days later, Kate receives a telegram saying that she inherited one million dollars from her brother who died. Kate said that she didn't want the money every one though she was crazy. Reporters swarmed her house but she shooed them all away.
At the end of the story Tom gets a job and can go to school. Tom says that he is going to marry Hilda. When they are celebrating every one says, "here is to the cat!"
I think that the author wants us to know that one small thing can change ones live like Dave when he got a cat he lost a lot of friends and gained a lot also.

Summary: "CAT" IS DEFINITELY A TIGER OF A BOOK
Comment: I first read "Cat" several years ago, and when I was in college, several of my friends and I read it (I passed it around to them), and we all loved it. Neville has sharp, concise writing, and it's a rare children's book that even adults can enjoy. Truly a book that both children and adults can enjoy; shows in detail why growing up can cause tension between kids and their parents!
Rating: 5
Summary: Someone tell me, how does this book have so few reviews?
Comment: IT'S NOTHING SHORT OF A CLASSIC. Personally, I find this book a better study in early 60s NYC youth alienation and reconciliation than Catcher in the Rye, and that is no joke. This book is fabulous. (...)
