The Incredibly Old Cat

Grandma’s cat is older than any other—she’s been with Grandma since she was a child! Grandma loves to tell this incredible story over and over again, and her grandchild loves it. When Grandma was still a child, the cat was in a serious car accident. Shortly afterward, she came home looking remarkably different: small and shy, but healthy.

“Grandma, couldn’t it also be that…”

“Wait a minute! The story isn’t over yet.”

The loving bond between Grandma and the child is the solid foundation on which this tongue-in-cheek, lively, and whimsical story rests. We follow Grandma from her childhood into old age, and we follow the cat through its seven lives.

And in the end, we realize: Some secrets bring us together—precisely because they remain unspoken.

By the way, the Easter Bunny and St. Nicholas know this, too.
