Adventures of a black cat. Summary: "A gently magical adventure in the lives of a remarkable seafaring cat (who was once a pirate) and his human friends. The tale is set in a fishing village somewhere, though it sounds very like Alaska's Aleutians, and on a cool sea both dreamlike and dangerous" From the Publisher Author Forrer, who is also a builder, commercial fisherman, and regent of the University of Alaska, has previously published the novel From the Nets of a Salmon Fisherman (Doubleday).
