The Cat Who Went to Paris introduces the world to Norton, an extraordinary animal whose feline charms, and unique relationship with the author, will delight cat lovers--and even cat haters--everywhere. Peter Gethers is surprised one day when his girlfriend presents him with a small, furry gray kitten, soon named Norton. Sensing immediately that he will have no trouble wrapping the cosmopolitain book editor and screenwriter around his little paw, Norton sets about taking over Geters's apartment--and life. Soon Norton begins to travel the globe, first on short trips to Fire Island, where he learns to take long walks on the beach, then to Paris (via the Concorde, of course), where the staff at the ritzy Tremoille Hotel tends to his every whim, and then to other exotic and normally uncatlike places. Along the way he encounters such diversions as Rotisserie League Baseball, the Fire Island summer social scene, a Dutch quiz show, an irate cat-hating stewardess, even kadima, "The Stupidest Game Ever Invented." Norton dictates Gethers's real estate buying, clearly indicates his feelings about a certain Danish fashion model, becomes friends with Roman Polanski, and makes a less-than-favorable first impression on Harrison Ford. Through it all, Norton takes in the world around him with an air of benevolent amusement not generally associated with those of the feline persuasion and has a profound effect on all who come in contact with him. --front flap
