Hurricane is a lovely white cat who arrives home to discover a Wrong Thing disturbing the order of the house. The pumpkin grows a face, the dolls come alive, even the fish grow arms and legs. What is Hurricane to do?

I've always believed that cats can see things we can't. This unusual story is about a cat who senses something magical happening in his house. It's really not much of a story, but the pictures are interesting--lots going on in little details as the entire house seems to come to life. The ending is a bit of a surprise too. Nice, but not as good as I'd hoped.
