Read in 2000. The city authorities also ban caring for/putting out milk for stray cats. The cover has a cat on a dark, rainy cobblestone street (think stereotypical London) possibly with humans in the background. The book may also have had a mystery element due to the cat needing to fix the human problems. The name of the book may also have had the color of the cat in it that had something to do with orange/autumn vibes.

Samantha, what are the city's problems?

Can you describe the cat's eyes.

thanks for the reply cross777 but that's not the one unfortunately.

some further details are that the town is the only place of action in the book/no mention of an outside world.
