First line

My father is always talking about how a dog can be very educational for a boy. This is one reason I got a cat.

Publisher's note

Dave Mitchell is fourteen and growing up in the midst of the variety and excitement of New York City. In this quiet, reflective, and humorous story of a boy's journey toward adulthood, Emily Neville captures the flavor of one kind of New York boyhood -- the sights and sounds of Gramercy Park, Coney Island, the Fulton Fish Market, the Bronx Zoo, the stickball games played in city streets, the fascinating mixture of nationalities and eccentrics that give the huge metropolis so much of its flavor and excitement. But most of all the author tells a realistic tale of Dave's affection for a stray tomcat, his comradeship with a troubled nineteen-year-old boy, his first shy friendship with a girl, and his growing understanding of his father as a human being and not just a parent.
Emil Weiss's lively drawings capture the mood and setting of the story to perfection.

"The thoughts, feelings, and activities of an adolescent boy in contemporary New York City, perceptively revealed in a skillfully written narrative".--Booklist.--The New York Times. 1964 Newbery Medal; ALA Notable Children's Books 1940-1970.

Annotation

Fourteen-year-old Dave and his lawyer dad never seem to see eye-to-eye. In fact, they are always arguing, which upsets Dave's mother causing her to have an asthma attack. Then Dave finds Cat, a stray that his elderly cat-lady friend Kate takes in, and adopts him. On his outings with Cat, Dave meets new friends and learns a lot about himself and his father. Winner of the 1964 Newbery Medal.
