This is a story about the life of a cat, Boris, but the book is all a very long poem. I think the best part of the book is how the person who owns Boris talks to it, gives it advice, and tells him his story. There is one part where the owner tells him about the eagles and how the people say they can carry cats and small dogs away from their homes, and the owner is just warning Boris to be carful when he's outside. Throughout the book though, it's clear Boris is not afraid of much. Cynthia Rylant makes the book seem so relatable, even for me someone who has never had a cat.
