A Traveling Cat by George Ella Lyon is a book about a stray cat named Boulevard. The young girl in the book finds Boulevard at the drive in Movie Theater and brings her home. Boulevard eventually has five kittens. Once the kittens are grown the young girl and her family give all the kittens away but one named Bruce. One day Boulevard disappears never to return again, she is a traveling cat after all. The book ends saying her home is the road. A similar experience happened with a stray cat and my family. A stray cat came to us pregnant and abused and we took her in. We named her Kallie. She had five kittens in our window well and once they were grown we gave away all of them but one. We still have Kallie and the runt of the litter, Cody at my parent’s house in Illinois. This story could have been written about my family, it was so close to what happened with us. Kallie wasn’t a traveler. She was too content to leave once she found her new home with us
